The author’s travel starts with university books. After an intense student career, he realizes it is time to gain first-hand knowledge of that controversial Land, walk in its streets, talk its language so distant and unfamiliar to Nicola's background. What is a country that still has not delineated his own borders like? How can people live among tensions and violent contrasts? Questions like these pushed the author to leave his beloved Mitteleuropa, without a clearly defined project. The discovery begins with Tel-Aviv, where East does not seem to be present, and West seems to dominate people’s life. In Jerusalem, Kippot and orthodox Jews pullulate reminding that Reality in this part of the world is always so variegated. Black, brown, blonde girls, different faces and colours are all here to testify the complexity and multi-ethnicity of a world which, with the help of his friend and guide David, the author tries to run from north to south in order to understand it and to report on it.

Nicola Seu was born in Sassari in 1978. After graduating in Arabic Language and Culture at Universitá di Sassari, he moved to England where he obtained an MA in Middle Eastern Studies. He attended courses in Arabic in Egypt, and studied Hebrew at the University of Haifa. He is currently working on his PhD project at the Hauptuniversität of Vienna on political relationships between Europe and Israel.
