Vladimir Fromer's new book includes historical and biographical essays on the present and past of the State of Israel. The heroes of The Reality of Myths, including four prime ministers and the President of the State of Israel, the head of the Mossad, poets and thinkers, are, first of all, people illuminated by inner light and burned by passions.
