Four friends get together to watch the 1998 World Cup final. One of them has an idea: let's write down our wishes for the next few years, put them away, and during the next final - four years from now - we'll get them out and see how many we've achieved. This is how World Cup Wishes opens, and from here we watch what happens to their wishes and their friendships as life marches on. The four men's bond is deep and solid, but tested by betrayal, death,and distance their alliance comes under pressure. Each friend offers a different perspective, though not necessarily a reliable one... and as they and the world around them change, so do their ideas of friendship and happiness. By the end they are forced to ask whether wishes can really be fulfilled. Or will their story turn out to be a requiem - for a generation, for friendship, or even for one of the four young men? Once again, Eshkol Nevo has produced a novel suffused with charm, warmth and an astonishing wisdom.… (mer)

Amichai, Ofir, Juvenal und Churchill sind Freunde seit der Schulzeit. Beim Fußball-WM-Finale kommt ihnen, mittlerweile in den frühen Dreissigern, die Idee, jeweils drei Lebenswünsche aufzuschreiben und diese Zettel erst beim nächsten WM-Finale wieder zu hervorzuholen. Doch die folgenden vier Jahre bringen Veränderungen mit sich, die die Freunde diese Ziele aus den Augen verlieren lassen und andere an ihre Stelle treten lassen. Auch die Beziehung der Freunde untereinander ändert sich.

Eshkol Nevo erzählt die Geschichte einer tiefen Männerfreundschaft, von Hoffnungen und Träumen, Enttäuschungen, Schicksalschlägen und neuen Herausforderungen in einer sich verändernden Welt. Der Autor vermittelt große Gefühle, ohne sentimental zu werden und auf eine lockere und flüssige Art und Weise, in der man sich mit seinen Helden identifizieren kann. Nebenbei vermittelt Nevos Werk aber auch tiefe Einblicke in die gespaltene israelische Gesellschaft und den Nahostkonflikt. ( )

Algunos acontecimientos se convierten en fechas especiales en las que es posible detenerse y ver qué ha sido de nuestra vida.
Cuatro amigos se reúnen ante el televisor. No han cumplido aún los treinta años y han compartido juventud, estudios, sueños, dificultades, esperanzas y amores. Cuatro jóvenes, con lo mejor de la vida ante ellos, y tres deseos que cada uno escribe en una nota. Al cabo de cuatro años volverán a leerlas. Acaso la esperanza de un mundo más justo, una pasión, un éxito o la mujer ideal. Ese día, uno de ellos ha conocido a una bella mujer. En su nota escribe: "Quiero casarme con Yaara. Tener un hijo con Yaara. Mejor una hija". La máquina del destino está lista para ponerse en marcha. Pero, ¿qué sucede cuando el paso del tiempo se lleva los sueños y disuelve las ambiciones más sinceras?

Quattro amici, quattro ragazzi, poi quattro uomini. Estremamente diversi tra loro, eppure uniti a doppia mandata da un'amicizia che li rende famiglia e che resiste ai più svariati e banali ostacoli che la vita pone sulla loro strada. Una riflessione sui legami amicali e sulla difficoltà nel trovare il proprio posto nel mondo.
Generalmente malinconico, spesso mi sono però ritrovata a sorridere leggendo. E in un paio di occasioni a chiedermi se Nevo non stesse, per caso, parlando proprio a me e a me soltanto.
Un autore da approfondire. ( )

Per qualche tempo, grazie all'abilita' di Nevo, siamo il quinto amico, quello che fa la foto di copertina, quello che non si vede ma e' nei tinelli cittadini di Tel Aviv, su automobili improbabili vaganti per strade israeliane, tra un impegno e l'altro in una città piatta e vociante. E' un compito che si svolge volentieri, con curiosità e partecipazione, perche' il racconto fila via fluido e lucido, consequenziale, normale - come le vite solitamente sono.
Il racconto di 4 vite, che assomiglia assai alla vita reale e pecca di fantasia forzosa proprio la' dove invece vuole farsi reportage e diario, con le note, le correzioni, le precisazioni dell'ipotetico avvocato che corregge il testo dell'amico. Una leggerezza, peccato. Non ne avrei deplorato l'assenza. ( )

Definirlo stupendo, per me, è il minimo. Libro bellissimo, è il secondo di Nevo che leggo. Il primo Neuland, mi era piaciuto ma si "incartava" sul finale: questo è semplicemente stupendo, bellissimo, un libro che consiglio a tutti! ( )

But this is much more than a political novel. As it moves forward, it develops into a cleverer, more literary book. It becomes increasingly clear that we cannot entirely trust Yuval --- certainly according to the other narrator, his friend Churchill. The story which seemed straightforward, is anything but. What started as a realistic novel about everyday life in Israel evolves into a story about storytelling. In doing so, it confirms Nevo as one of the best young Israeli writers today.
