Mission: The North. Concluding Travel Notes from Scandinavia

The conclusion chapter will be presented through texts written by four Israelis who for various reasons have visited the Scandinavian countries during the 1950s: Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, Nobel Prize winner in literature Shmuel Yosef Agnon, Historian (and wife of the Israeli Ambassador to Stockholm) Leni Yahil, and the young journalist Alex Carmel. Their varied perspectives, sometimes unexpectedly funny, illustrate the contemporary fascinating image that Israelis had on the Nordic countries. These texts also reflect the diversity of topics covered throughout the book.
