Journey to the End of the Millennium（ISBN=）

　　In the year 999, when Ben Attar, a Moroccan Jewish merchant,
takes a second wife, he commits an act whose unforeseen
consequences will forever alter his family, his relationships, his
business-his life. In an attempt to forestall conflict and advance
his business interests at the same time, Ben Attar undertakes his
annual journey to Europe with both his first wife and his new wife.
The trip is the beginning of a profound human drama whose moral
conflicts of fidelity and desire resonate with those of our time.
Yehoshua renders the medieval world of Jewish and Christian culture
and trade with astonishing depth and sensuous detail. Through the
trials of a medieval merchant, the renowned author explores the
deepest questions about the nature of morality, character, codes of
human conduct, and matters of the heart.

　　Born in Jerusalem in 1936, the author lives in Haifa where he
teaches Comparative Literature at the university. Apart from his
novels, he writes and speaks frequently on the on-going struggle to
find a permanent peace with Israel’s Arab neighbours
