@import "profile.css"; Leon Uris Leon Marcus Uris was born in Baltimore, Maryland on 3 August 1924, the son of a Jewish Russian immigrant. Leon Uris failed English three times and dropped out of high school and joined the Marine Corps, taking part in the battles in the Pacific in World War II. His experiences led to his first novel Battle Cry , published in 1953. Leon Uris claimed his personality was shaped by the failures of his father, who was a paper hanger and storekeeper, saying: "I think his personality was formed by the harsh realities of being a Jew in Czarist Russia. He was basically a failure. He went from failure to failure. I think failure formed his character, made him bitter. "I think I can say without hesitation that from earliest memory I was determined not to be a failure." After the spy story, The Angry Hills Leon Uris concentrated his research on what was to be his most famous book, Exodus (1958), which tells the story of the birth of the Israeli nation. It became a best-seller and was turned into a film starring Paul Newman . Reportedly Leon Uris fell out with the director, Otto Preminger.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Leon (Marcus ) Uris (1924-2003) American writer whose bestseller Exodus (1958) was immediately translated into some 50 languages, among others into Finnish. Uris is known for his panoramic, action-filled novels which often depict determined individuals during the dramatic upheavals of modern history. "This was what I came to found. The conquest of loneliness was the missing link that was, one day, going to make a decent novelist out of me. If you are out here and cannot close off the loves and hates of all that back there in the real world, the memories will overtake you and swamp you and wilt your tenacity. Tenacity, stamina... close off to everything and everyone but your writing. That's the bloody price. I don't know, maybe it's some kind of ultimate selfishness. Maybe it's part of the killer instinct. Unless you can stash away and bury thoughts of your greatest love, you cannot sustain the kind of concentration that breaks most men trying to write a book over a three- or four-year period." (from Mitla Pass Leon Uris was born in Baltimore, Maryland, as the son of Wolf William and Anna (Blumberg) Uris. His father, a Polish immigrant, was a paperhanger, later a storekeeper. Anna was a first-generation American; William spent a year in Palestine after World War I before entering the Unites States. He derived his surname from Yerushalmi, meaning man of Jerusalem. "He was basically a failure", Uris said later of his father. "He went from failure to failure." Uris attended schools in Norfolk, Virginia, and Baltimore, flunked three times in English, and never graduated from high school. At the age of seventeen Uris joined the United States Marine Corps. He served in the South Pacific at Guadalcanal, Tarawa, and New Zealand from 1942 to 1945. While recuperating from malaria in San Francisco, he met Betty Beck, a Marine sergeant. They married in 1945.
