Shalom, Amos ... שלום עמוס, תישאר איתנו לנצח

Shalom Amos, you will stay with us forever ...

 

חבר שלי, אני מצטערת שאני לא בישראל בימים אלה ולא יכולה

...להשתתף בפרידה שלך

 

Amos Oz, born Amos Klausner (May 4, 1939 - December 28, 2018) was an Israeli writer, novelist, journalist and intellectual.

He was also a professor of literature at Ben-Gurion University in Beersheba. During his lifetime he was regarded as Israel's foremost living author.

Oz's work has been published in 45 languages in 47 countries, and has received many honours and awards, among them the Legion of Honour of France, the Goethe Prize, the Prince of Asturias Award in Literature, the Heinrich Heine Prize and the Israel Prize. In 2007, a selection from the Chinese translation of "A Tale of Love and Darkness" was the first work of modern Hebrew literature to appear in an official Chinese textbook.

 

Beginning in 1967, Oz was a prominent advocate of a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
