The World Of The End (hebrew)

A strange, weird, and wholly wonderful Hebrew novel that was translated into English and received a fair deal of critical acclaim. TOR, the fantasy publishing powerhouse, published it and a number of award winning fantasy authors praised it. The World of the End novel about the afterlife in which a man named Ben searches for long-lost wife. In the eternal afterlife, everyone who’s ever lived exists, but finding someone specific is nearly an impossible task. But it’s a quest that Ben sets upon himself to take up, even if it takes an eternity to do so. But things are not so simple, the afterlife is not what it seems to be, and it turns out, Ben's wife just still might be alive.It’s the story of the end that just turns out to be the beginning...where death is not the end of the mysteries, but rather, the beginning of even greater mysteries to solve. This twisty novel sets out with a simple plot and uncomplicated premise, but becomes anything but once you get into it. It’s also an interesting look into Hebrew mythology, offering a unique perspective of the world as seen through the Hebrew culture (this being written by an Israeli author).The World of the End is all in all a strange yet remarkably deep novel that requires some effort to push into, but the rewards are worth the effort. It’s a love story, an ode to a love story, a detective story, a whodunit, and adventure, a fantasy tale,  a story about the afterlife, and a book about finding lost things. Yet at the core, it’s the story about a man who will do anything to find and reunite with his wife. Don’t pass up this unforgettable novel. The story and characters will stay with you long after you finish the last page. It’s an awesome blend of fantasy, adventure, mystery, and a sweetly compelling romantic tale to boot.
