Binyamin Tammuz (1919-1989) was an Israeli writer, sculptor, painter, translator, journalist and critic. His novel "Minotaur" tells about the everyday life of an Israeli secret agent, into which an all-consuming love for a beautiful girl named Thea broke in. Both the profession and the time and place of the hero's activity doom him to search for a way out of the labyrinth of ethnic and cultural confrontation.When the story of this obsessive love was published in England in 1981, Graham Greene called The Minotaur "the best novel of the year", and in 1997 a film with the same name was made based on the novel.Translated from the Hebrew by Valentin Tublin
