- Abstract
This article explores the life and career of Arab-Jewish writer Ishaq Bar-Moshe in Israel. Bar-Moshe was educated at the Rachel Shahmun School, then at al-Rusafa School and al-I'dadiyya al-Ahliyya. From the age of five he read translations of world literature as well as original Arabic literature. Bar-Moshe's literary works consist of two main branches with different generic, thematic, and stylistic preferences. Bar-Moshe's short stories were part of the general trend in Arabic literature of the 1960s and 1970s that expressed the tragic absurdity of human existence in modern civilization, maintaining that this materialistic civilization obliterates human spiritual values.
