THE TELEGRAPH, BLOOMBERG AND TIME 'BOOK OF THE YEAR''A taut, immersive chronicle of endurance' Time Magazine'One of the most compelling and unflinching books you will ever read' Daily TelegraphOn 7 October, 2023, Hamas terrorists stormed Kibbutz Be’eri, shattering the peaceful life Eli Sharabi had built with his British wife, Lianne, and their teenage daughters, Noiya and Yahel. Dragged barefoot out of his front door while his family watched in horror, Sharabi was plunged deep into the suffocating darkness of Gaza’s tunnels. As war raged above him, he endured a gruelling 491 days in captivity - all the while holding onto the hope that he would one day be reunited with his loved ones.In the first memoir by a released Israeli hostage, and the fastest-selling book in Israel’s history, Sharabi offers a searing firsthand account of survival under unimaginable conditions - starvation, isolation, physical beatings, and psychological abuse at the hands of his captors.Eli Sharabi’s story is one of hunger and heartache, of physical pain, longing, loneliness and a helplessness that threatens to destroy the soul. But it is also a story of strength, of resilience, and of the human spirit’s refusal to surrender. It is about the camaraderie forged in captivity, the quiet power of faith, and one man’s unrelenting decision to choose life, time and time again.Reminiscent of Elie Wiesel’s Night, Hostage is a profound witness to history, so that it shall be neither forgotten nor erased.

  1. 4/5 Jacquelyn Penney

    ”Hostage” är en mycket välskriven bok som berättar om livet som fånga i tunnlarna i Gaza. Författaren håller de andra fångarna relativt stabila genom sin modiga sätt att hantera de långa dagar i fångenskap. Vad han inte vet ( (och det var kanske trots alt bäst för honom) är att hustrun och döttrarna dödades strax efter han själv kidnappades. Intressant är, att efter frigivning har han kunnat med stöd av vänner och de övriga i familjen återuppta en normalt liv och till och med finna en vis lycka.

  2. 5/5 Keren

    Väldigt stark bok om detta hemska människoöde. Elis sätt att beskriva vad han varit med om är lika vackert som hjärtskärande.

  3. 5/5 IM

    Alla måste läsa den boken särskilt hamas supportare och useful idioter som går på svenska gator. Det ska läsas på skolan.
