	Exodus (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Exodus is a novel written in 1958 by American novelist Leon Uris about the founding of the state of Israel, based on the name of the 1947 immigration ship Exodus.
		As in several of Uris's novels, some of the fictional characters are partially based upon one or more historical personages, or act as metaphors for the various peoples who helped to build modern Israel.
		In the novel, both the stories of the ships Exodus and the Star of David (invented by the author) have elements which tell the story of the real ship Exodus, further adding to the confusion.

		Exodus is still in print, and still attracts readers, but its power to move a readership appears to have become limited.
		Exodus remains a good example of the argument that it is works of popular literature, with all their shortcomings, that influence history far more than do more highly regarded works of literary fiction.
		That novel treated the Zionist enemy as both ruthless and treacherous: It had given the inhabitants of a Palestinian village six days in which to surrender or be killed.

		The novel was translated into dozens of languages and was even distributed secretly in communist countries.
		Controversy helped "Exodus" sell when Uris was accused of libel for his depictions of Dr. Wladislav Dering, whom the author identified as a war criminal.

	-- UT On Campus --
		A gripping story of adventure, this novel was the beginning of a creative period devoted to Jewish issues, which led to Uris writing his greatest and most memorable novel, Exodus (1957), a story of the founding of Israel, which would be one of the most popular novels of the century.
		What he strove for in his novels was a metaphorical truth about a time and place that transcended the limitations of fiction and history, for which he was often skewered by the critics even as he enchanted millions of readers.
		Exodus is the story of an entire people emerging from the greatest nightmare of their history, from the concentration camps of Germany, the hiding places in Eastern Europe, and the scattered Islamic territories of the Middle East.

		The novel was extremely topical, for it dealt with the creation of modern-day Israel, a highly controversial event--and one well within the memory of most adult readers of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
		For many readers, EXODUS would be their first encounter with such material, and Uris took nothing for granted in his descriptions and accounts.
		The novel is also somewhat controversial, for it is written from an extremely Zionist position, and for Uris this position is fundamental to all else.

	UJC - JBooks.com: Exodus and Aliyah: Jewish-American Writers on Israeli Turf
		For many Jewish-American readers the novel about Israel they know and love is Leon Uris’s "Exodus." Many read it in high school and the effect, on even those who did not especially like novels, was extraordinary.
		The novel, with all its slipping in and out of autobiography, fell awkwardly between two stools: it was neither objectively “true” nor persuasively “false.” Like about half of Roth’s novels, "Operation Shylock" quickly landed in the “remaindered” pile, where it languished and was soon pulped.
		That, of course, is were the tensions in the novel reside, even though we know that her middle-aged American protagonist is headed for the chuppah in the concluding pages.

		According to later chapters of the novel, this was simply an advertising ploy by the “great owners” of California to entice more men than they needed to their harvest so they could reduce wages.
		Later, the critic Mary McCarthy repeated Black’s sentiments that the text was not sufficiently orthodox for a proletarian novel, a response that generated a life-long enmity between her and Steinbeck.
		The sentimental novel she eventually produced, Of Human Kindness, however, was hardly a match for her rival’s ability to generate powerful literary mythology.

		It is hardly characteristic of the theology of the book of Exodus, of Torah, or of the Hebrew Bible, in all of which the predominant theology is that of a God whose abounding grace is the paramount characteristic.
		The Exodus theme reverberates throughout the prophets and is expressed about 120 times in the entire Hebrew Bible, [Sarna, 2] always with the implication that the Israelite people were formed through these events by the generosity and grace of YHWH.
		Granted, this graphic novel, The Lone and Level Sands, is not presenting the biblical text of Exodus as such, but in a 'flipped' version so that these same events can be viewed from the viewpoint of Ramses II and his family.
