Is the desert the arid Tibetan plateau? Or the wandering sands of the Sahara? Or perhaps it is the dry savannahs of Somalia during the civil war there when the inhabitants were dying of starvation? Shezaf, a veteran traveler and an experienced writer, may already definitely be considered one of the pioneers in the field of Hebrew travel writing. In his accounts, he develops the description of the journey as the backbone of the plot and as a literary framework in\u00a0\u00a0 its own right. His ability to observe and describe make reading this book engaging and interesting. Tsur Shezaf, who has traveled on the Trans-Siberian railway and followed the Silk Road, knows just what a great traveler is.<\/p>\n<table class=\"no_float\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shezaf.net\/images\/stories\/books\/the%20road.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/1994\/10\/5-Haderx-laosher.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-15938\" src=\"https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/1994\/10\/5-Haderx-laosher-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/1994\/10\/5-Haderx-laosher-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/1994\/10\/5-Haderx-laosher-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/1994\/10\/5-Haderx-laosher-600x901.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/1994\/10\/5-Haderx-laosher-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/1994\/10\/5-Haderx-laosher-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/1994\/10\/5-Haderx-laosher-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/shezaf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/1994\/10\/5-Haderx-laosher.jpg 1061w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Road to Happiness<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On &#8220;The Road to Happiness&#8221;By Moshe Gilad, &#8220;Masa Aher&#8220; Tsur Shezaf, in his unique language and style, describes encounters in the distant deserts of Tibet [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15938,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[188,189],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","category-books-books"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
