Peretz (Peter) Smolenskin (?1842 Monastyrshchina,Mogilev Governorate, Russian Empire, in present-day Smolensk Oblast, Russia - February 1, 1885 Merano, Italy), was part of the Haskalah movement, and the founder and editor of a literary Hebrew language journal Ha-Shachar, (The Dawn.) He also wrote several novels and short stories in Hebrew and strengthened a nationalistic Haskalah movement in partnership with Zionism. His family came from Smolensk. His older brother was seized by the Czar's army and never returned. His father, falsely accused of a crime, was a fugitive for over two years and died when Peretz was eleven. At the age of 12, he left home to study at yeshiva for five years. He began reading secular books and learning Russian under the influence of the Haskalah movement. He traveled through southern Russia and the Crimea, supporting himself by singing in choirs and preaching in synagogues. In 1862 he settled in Odessa where he studied music and languages, taught Hebrew and, in 1867, published his first story. He traveled through Romania, Germany and Bohemia, acquired Turkish nationality, and in Vienna he founded a Hebrew journal that became a literary platform for the Haskalah movement and the early Jewish nationalist movement. He was stricken with tuberculosis in 1883 and died two years later. He was a strong voice for Jewish nationalism and his Hebrew periodical, The Dawn (Ha-shahar), was very influential. Shortly before his death he was associated with Laurence Oliphant and became deeply interested in schemes for the colonization of Palestine. Smolenskin was among the first of Jewish nationalists to disassociate Messianic ideals from theological concomitants. His six novels create a kaleidoscope of Jewish life in which he rejects the notion of the westernized Jew. His works: Hebrew: The Joy of the Goddess, Vienna, (Simchat Hanef) Ha-Shachar, 1872.

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.
