Love in the family through the eyes of the writer Meir Shalev (and fragments of novel texts and analysis)

The article presents small fragments of three novels by Meir Shalev, and the author on this material discusses the writer's understanding of love, family and personality. Why, he asks, is the fate of the family as portrayed by Shalev so sad, almost unconnected with love, and why the personality in novels is usually lonely? To answer these questions, an analysis of these three realities important for life is proposed, on the one hand, as Shalev understands them, on the other, how they currently look objectively. The author comes to the conclusion that at present in culture the understanding and concepts of family, love and personality are not coordinated with each other, which gives rise to numerous problems and a crisis of sociality. In parallel, he is trying to clarify the essence of the phenomena of love, family, personality and sociality discussed by Shalev.
