The hero of the touching and ironic novel by the classic of Israeli literature A.-B. Yehoshua is looking for new hobbies in order to free himself from the tragedy he experienced - the death of his wife, with whom he lived for many years. Skillfully weaving the threads of an entertaining plot, the author follows on the heels of his hapless, sometimes handsome, sometimes funny hero, continuously recording the subtlest nuances of his consciousness. This unusually accurate psychological picture, combined with the lyrical comedy of unexpected plot situations, allowed critics to call “The Five Seasons” a strikingly fascinating and deeply human book.
