Reviews

Azaryahu shows the development of Tel Aviv from a sand dune to a skyscraper-studded megalopolis. He blends wonderful creative stories and characters as he focuses on periods and places and takes the reader on a walking tour through the past 100 years. History, ideology, culture, architecture, and nostalgia are all dissected to explore the way we’ve been shaped to think of the place, making this an engrossing read for anyone wishing to get to grips with the city.
