Summary

Jacqueline (Shochat) Kahanov (1917-1979) is a writer and essayist who was ahead of her time. Her cultural, literary and intellectual world was vast, but her fame was mainly known for her essays that based a cultural theory on the Levant. Her name precedes her as a feminist theoretician, the princess of the Levant and the harbinger of Mediterranean culture. We have before us the first intellectual biography about her that follows her literary and Gothic work that took shape during her life stations in Cairo, New York, Paris and Tel Aviv. The author of the biography is the historian Prof. David Ohana, a well-known researcher of the Mediterranean culture, and who has already edited Kahanov's essays, stories and notes in two files: Between Two Worlds (Ketar 2015) and In the Levant we were all born (Carmel, 2022). His books Gresham Shalom and Political Theology (Bialik Institute) and My Essays in the Land of Israel (Carmel) will soon appear.
