Bibi

Autor Anshel Pfeffer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2020

Descoperim în această lucrare semnată de Anshel Pfeffer o analiză riguroasă care depășește simpla cronică politică, oferind o perspectivă structurală asupra modului în care Benjamin Netanyahu a remodelat statul Israel. Subliniem faptul că autorul nu se limitează la scandalurile recente, ci investighează rădăcinile ideologice ale familiei Netanyahu, explicând cum un brand de sionism cândva marginal a ajuns să domine scena publică. Remarcăm modul în care Anshel Pfeffer decodează succesul lui „Bibi” ca pe o victorie a „outsiderilor” asupra elitei liberale care a pus bazele națiunii, transformând profilul socio-politic al țării într-un hibrid complex de hi-tech și tradiționalism. Cititorii familiarizați cu Warrior de Ariel Sharon vor aprecia în acest volum o abordare critică și analitică, spre deosebire de tonul autobiografic al memoriilor lui Sharon. În timp ce Warrior se concentrează pe parcursul militar și pe leadership-ul în perioade de conflict, Bibi oferă o radiografie a supraviețuirii politice și a modului în care identitatea personală a liderului a devenit sinonimă cu identitatea de stat. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Golda Meir de Meron Medzini, care funcționează ca un ghid de referință cronologic, lucrarea lui Pfeffer este o biografie narativă densă, de 640 de pagini, care pune accent pe mecanismele puterii și pe schimbarea de paradigmă de la idealismul secular la naționalismul religios. Este o resursă esențială pentru înțelegerea politicii contemporane din Orientul Mijlociu, oferind contextul necesar pentru a descifra tensiunile dintre globalism și tribalism.

Această biografie este indispensabilă pentru cei care doresc să înțeleagă nu doar omul, ci și mecanismele care au transformat Israelul modern. Anshel Pfeffer oferă o perspectivă lucidă asupra modului în care ideologia și moștenirea familială pot modela destinul unei națiuni.

Descriere

For many in Israel and elsewhere, Benjamin Netanyahu is anathema, an embarrassment; yet he continues to dominate Israeli public life. How can we explain his rise, his hold on Israeli politics, and his outsized role on the world's stage?In Bibi, Anshel Pfeffer reveals the formative influence of Netanyahu's father and grandfather, who bequeathed to him a once-marginal brand of Zionism combining Jewish nationalism with religious traditionalism. In the Zionist enterprise, Netanyahu embodies the triumph of the underdogs over the secular liberals who founded the nation.Netanyahu's Israel is a hybrid of ancient phobia and high-tech hope; of tribalism and globalism -- just like the man himself. We cannot understand Israel today without first understanding the man who leads it.

Notă biografică

Anshel Pfeffer has covered Israeli politics and global affairs for two decades. He is a senior correspondent and columnist for Haaretz and the Israel correspondent for the Economist. He lives in Jerusalem.

Recenzii

"Superbly timed...insightful...Pfeffer is one of the smartest and most prolific of Israel's younger generation of journalists...Bibi, obsessed by hostile 'left-wing media,' complained preemptively that this biography would be a cartoon. It is not: it fleshes out a superficially familiar and invariably quotable figure with a wealth of background information and analysis that provide necessary and, of course, often highly critical context...This book is a necessary contribution to understanding a high-profile and internationally contentious figure and the fractured country he has led for so long."—Ian Black, New York Times
"[Pfeffer is] one of Israel's bestinformed writers...[Bibi is] a must read for everyone who is interested inthe undercurrents of today's Israeli society"—Tom Segev, Economist
"Readers who are rooting either for or againstNetanyahu will find that Pfeffer's reporting quenches their thirst for thecomplete picture of his rise to power."—Commentary
"A perceptivehistory of a beleaguered nation and one deeply flawed leader."—Kirkus Reviews
"Weavingtogether stories from Netanyahu's time in America and Israel, and from hisfamily history, military service, and political career, Anshel Pfeffer'sfascinating and insightful Bibi paints a portrait of theindomitable outsider who became Israel's three-time prime minister.Pfeffer's riveting account illuminates the ways in which the manleading Israel today is both a product and a beneficiaryof bitter divides that have shaped the nation's politics from itsearliest days."—Tamara Cofman Wittes, Senior Fellow in Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution
"In a career thatcould yet make him the longest serving Prime Minister in Israel's history,Benjamin Netanyahu turned out to be much more than the temporary speed bump inIsraeli politics his critics once imagined. In this lively and trenchantbiography, Anshel Pfeffer explains why and how Bibi came to dominate and embodythe changing face of the remarkable and divided nation he still leads."—Aaron David Miller, Vice-President and Middle East Program Director at the Woodrow Wilson Center
"Certain toelicit both consternation and praise, Anshel Pfeffer's Bibi: The TurbulentLife and Times of Benjamin Netanyahu is a fascinating exploration ofthe complex ideological and familial foundations that continue to shape thethinking and governing of the man who may soon become Israel's longest servingPrime Minster. This is a book that will lead both Bibi's friends as well as hisfoes to see him a new--and infinitely more nuanced--light."—Daniel Gordis, author of Israel: A Concise History of a Nation Reborn
"AnshelPfeffer has done something hard to do. He's given us an understanding, evencompassionate, portrait of Benjamin Netanyahu--the family, the formativeexperiences, the logic of his belligerent ideology--while keeping his distancefrom Netanyahu's stances and exposing many of the unpleasant truths that lie beneaththe surface Netanyahu works so hard to polish. Not coincidentally, Pfeffer hasalso given us a short-hand account of Israel's political history. Pfeffer isessential reading in Haaretz. His book gives Western readers someidea why."—Bernard Avishai, author of The Hebrew Republic
