In 1958, American novelist Leon Uris awakened the sympathy of the world for the young state of Israel with Exodus. Breaking records, topping bestseller lists and selling millions of copies, the novel tells the thrilling tale of the birth of the Jewish state through the lens of a group of young, idealistic, and brave characters, who, although fictional, represent the very real heroes of the time. In this course, we will focus on the stories of these characters, delving into literary themes, historical significance, and political relevance.
