About this Item

In Hebrew. 101, (3) pages. illustrations. 215 x 143 mm. WorldCat: Libraries worldwide that own item: 3. Yellowed, fragile pages. Re-backed. Fichman was an acclaimed Hebrew poet, essayist and literary critic. He emigrated to Eretz Israel, then part of the Ottoman Empire, in 1912, returned temporarily to Europe, to be stranded there until after World War I. When he returned, it was, and remained for 40 years, the British Empire's Mandate Palestine, and spent the rest of his days there, in Israel. His poetry followed a traditional lyric Romantic style. His poetic background is reflected in his works of prose, which were sometimes seen as poetry themselves. His other work included textbooks, articles in periodicals and introductions in literary anthologies. His critical essays focused heavily on the lives of the authors rather than on their work, giving the reader a holistic view of the author and the work. He was awarded the Bialik Prize, twice, and the Israel Prize for literature. Seller Inventory # 011511
