Colors from a Zionist's Palette

The three stories in this volume are derived from real-life experiences, mostly during Arieh Larkey's over forty years of living out his dream in the Jewish Homeland. The first story, "An Improbable Zionist Recollections", is a light autobiographical sketch of life s twists and turns, which lead the author on adventures he could never have envisioned as a youth growing up in the Jewish neighbourhood of Newark, New Jersey; adventures in a place that lies six thousand miles to the east of his hometown namely, the fledgling Jewish State of Israel. To round out the trilogy, the two additional short stories in this volume, entitled "Nazi Germany & the Sinai: A Link to the Past" and "My First Time ...Under Katyusha Fire", show tantalising glimpses of the author s extraordinary adventures in his adopted home. Sometimes he uses fictional characters to tell the story. Other times, he himself is the protagonist. But in either case, the readers will enjoy a full 360 panoramic view of the author's physical and emotional surroundings as the stories unfold.
