In Hebrew. (8), 320 pages. 218 x 142 mm. Top left corner of title page has a very small rubber stamp impression in Hebrew of the former owner, Professor Michael (Milton) Arfa, the distinguished Rabbi, author and professor of Hebrew literature and philosophy. Dr. Arfa taught generations of students at Yeshiva University, Herzliah Hebrew Teachers Institute, Hunter College, HUC-JIR and NYU. As chairman of the Israel Matz Foundation, Dr. Arfa devoted himself to aiding indigent Hebrew writers, and published scholarly works of Hebrew literature and philosophy. He was a gifted teacher, humanitarian, scholar, lover of Zion and above all a modest and quiet doer of good deeds. He died in 2003. 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 011875
