Yehoshua Hankin: Two Loves

Yehoshua Hankin's two great loves — his wife Olga and the land — shaped his life without conflict. Set in late Ottoman and British Mandate Palestine, this novel explores fifty years of his legacy as the “Redeemer of the Land” and the people around him.

Authors Irit Amit Cohen and Ruth Kark combine literary storytelling with rigorous research, including oral accounts from Hankin's close associates, to create a vivid and multi-dimensional portrait of a pivotal time and figure.
