Journey to the End of the Millennium is a novel by Israeli writer Abraham B. Yehoshua, published in 1999. The plot follows Ben Atar, a Jewish merchant from Tangier, on a fascinating journey by sea and land through Europe at the end of the 10th century, an era tormented by the proximity of the year 1000. Internationally acclaimed, the novel recounts Ben Atar's journey to defend Andalusian culture against Ashkenazi culture, in a context of commercial relations affected by his bigamy.
Avraham Gabriel "Boolie" Yehoshua was an Israeli novelist, essayist, and playwright. The New York Times called him the "Israeli Faulkner". Underlying themes in Yehoshua's work are Jewish identity, the tense relations with non-Jews, the conflict between the older and younger generations, and the clash between religion and politics.
