The Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization is a landmark scholarly project covering thousands of years of Jewish literary and cultural history. Amos Oz contributed to three volumes of this series, including Jews and Words (2012), a book he co-wrote with his daughter Fania Oz-Salzberger, and two volumes covering the Holocaust era and its aftermath.
Jews and Words, the most widely read of his contributions to the series, argues that the Jewish people have maintained their identity across diaspora primarily through a shared textual tradition. It is characteristically direct and readable, combining historical argument with personal reflection.
