Exodus (Uris novel)
''Exodus'' is an historical novel by American novelist Leon Uris about the founding of the State of Israel. Published in 1958, it begins with a compressed retelling of the voyages of the 1947 immigration ship ''Exodus''.
Uris covered the Arab–Israeli fighting as a war correspondent in 1956; two years later, ''Exodus'' was published by Doubleday. ''Exodus'' became an international publishing phenomenon, the biggest bestseller in the United States since ''Gone with the Wind'' (1936).〔(''Exodus'' special edition ), Amazon books description〕 The book remained number one on the ''New York Times'' bestseller list for eight months after its release,〔Nadel, Ira B. ''Leon Uris: Life of a Best Seller'', Univ. of Texas Press (2010) Prologue notes〕 and initiated a new sympathy for the newly established State of Israel.〔(God, Guns and Israel: Britain, The First World War And The Jews in the Holy City ), Jill Hamilton, p 181: "Two months after the tenth anniversary a novel was published in America that changed the public perception of Israel and the Jews. Exodus by the Jewish US ex-marine Leon Uris became an international publishing phenomenon, the biggest best seller in the United States since Gone with the Wind. Both the novel and the subsequent movie thrust Israel into the lives of millions, and with it initiated a new sympathy for the young country."〕
The story unfolds with the protagonist, Ari Ben Canaan, hatching a plot to transport Jewish refugees from a British detention camp in Cyprus to Palestine. The operation is carried out under the auspices of the Mossad Le'aliyah Bet. The book then goes on to trace the histories of the various main characters and the ties of their personal lives to the birth of the new Jewish state.
Otto Preminger directed a 1960 film based on the novel, featuring Paul Newman as Ari Ben Canaan. It focuses mainly on the escape from Cyprus and subsequent events in Palestine.
