Printed on good quality paper. With blue silk ribbon bookmark. Book block is solid but spine & back board are missing, front board detached and small water stain throughout, v. small tear on page 217. S. Ben Tsyion was the pen name of Simha Alter Guttman, Hebrew writer, educator, newspaper editor (Ha-Omer, Haaretz literary supplement), publisher, co-founder of Tel Aviv, and father of the writer and great artist Nachum Gutman, a few of whose illustrations appear here. He received a traditional heder education but was also exposed to Hebrew maskilic literature. His first story, "Mayn khaver" (My Friend), appeared in Yiddish (1899); he later translated it into Hebrew and published it under the title "Meshi" (Silk; 1902). His subsequent Hebrew stories appeared in prominent journals. In 1897 Ben-Tsiyon left his detested profession, cattle trading, and switched to teaching, an occupation he regarded as his true calling and in which he was very successful. In 1899 the prestigious Ha-Hinukh society invited him to Odessa to teach in the city's modernized heder, a school that quickly became a model institution. In 1900 Hayim Nahman Bialik was invited to teach under Ben-Tsiyon's supervision, and a friendship between the two men blossomed. An innovative teacher who pioneered the Ivrit be-ivrit method (teaching Hebrew and related subjects by using solely the Hebrew language), Ben-Tsiyon systematically compiled the graded Ben-'ami textbook series; the first of its many editions was issued in 1904. Ben-Tsiyon was part of the Sofre Odessa, a circle of writers who had a major influence upon the development of Hebrew culture and literature. He was an ardent follower of Mendele Moykher-Sforim, even though they differed in their views about Zionism. With the goal of revitalizing Hebrew education, Ben-Tsiyon joined with Bialik, Elhanan Leib Lewinsky, and Yehoshu'a Hana Ravnitski to establish the Moriah Press. Throughout this period, Ben-Tsiyon remained one of the most highly regarded writers of his generation, exhibiting his finest skill in the stories "Al ketseh gevul ha-yaldut" (On the Edge of Childhood; 1899), "Nefesh retsutsah" (Fragmented Soul; 1902), "Zekenim" (Elders; 1903), and "Me-'?Ever le-hayim" (Beyond Life; 1904). In 1905, with his wife and five children, Ben-Tsiyon left Odessa for Palestine, and was one of the founders of Tel Aviv in 1909, where he remained until his death in 1932. As a disciple follower of Ahad Ha-Am, Ben-Tsiyon planned to create a literary center in pre-state Israel, modeled on the Odessa circle. The scholarly journal Ha-?Omer and his continuing textbook series were part of this agenda. In 1910 he helped devise the youth periodical Moledet, which was published under the auspices of the Palestine Teachers Union. The journal was initially issued in 1911; however, by the end of its first year Ben-Tsiyon was removed from its editorial body by the teachers' central board. His failures as an editor embittered him, and he subsequently dissociated himself from cultural, public, and literary activities. His hope that in Palestine he would sustain the leadership position he had held in Odessa was dashed. Ruptures widened between Ben-Tsiyon and the workers? parties that had set the tone for literary standards in Palestine, as well as personally between him and their leaders (including Berl Katsenelson). These rejections led him to associate with "civilian circles" whose contribution to cultural activity in those years was marginal. Still, he continued to compile his textbook series Ben-'ami. In 1914, just before World War I, he published Kol ketavav (All His Writings) in two volumes, and when the British occupied Eretz Israel, he edited the literary supplement Shai shel sifrut (The Gift of Literature), which was attached to the daily ?adashot meha-arets (1918?1919), and Ha-Ezrah, an anthology . . , ,

Yemima Avidar-Tchernovitz (October 8, 1909 - March 20, 1998) was an Israeli author whose works became classics of modern Hebrew children?s literature. Born in Vilna, Lithuania in 1909, she arrived in Palestine in 1921, at the age of 12. A teacher and school principal, she also worked in children's radio with Kol Yerushalayim, with the Nursery School Teachers' Theater and on the editorial board of Dvar HaPo?elet. One of her most famous pupils was the actor Chaim Topol. Her books for children are foundational in the sippurei havurah (band-of-friends) genre and were among the earliest based on the ordinary lives of children. In addition to her original works, she translated other works into Hebrew. Among her honors are the Israel Prize for children's literature (1984) and the Yakir Yerushalaim award (1992).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Gutman, Nahum (illustrator). [2], 161 pages. Pages a bit browned. Yehuda ben Yehoshua Burla (18 September 1886 - 7 November 1969) was born in Jerusalem, then part of the Ottoman Empire, to a Sephardi Jewish family with rabbinical roots, originating from Izmir. As a child, he lived in the Ezrat Yisrael neighborhood near the corner of Jaffa Road and King George Street. Until the age of 18, he had a religious education, studying at yeshiva and beth midrash. After graduating from the "Ezra" teachers seminary in Jerusalem, he began working, in both a teaching and administrative capacity, in various schools affiliated to the Zionist Organization. During World War I, Burla served in the Turkish army as an interpreter, and following the war, he taught in the Hebrew school in Damascus, where he lived for five years. He continued teaching until 1944, when he starting working in the public sector and was at one stage Head of the Arab Department of the Histadrut. His children were Oded Burla, a writer, poet and artist, Yair Burla, a writer and translator, Ofra Adar Burla, a writer and translator, and Zuria Ben Nun. Burla was twice awarded the Bialik Prize for literature, in 1939 and 1954. In 1961, he was awarded the Israel Prize, for literature. Yehuda Burla Street, the main thoroughfare in Jerusalem's Nayot neighborhood, was named for him.

It starts thus [this is my translation:] This book in its essence is not an album of drawings but rather a collection of sketches I made in real time during the war of independence, and they can, to a degree, bring back to life the atmosphere and experiences of those days. During those days I was able to go, thanks to the help of culture officers, from one front to another and from one military post to another. I joined them taking unpaved roads and paths, using smashed up vehicles. it was only thanks to the drivers' strength of youth and their cleverness that we were able to reach our destinations, with them wearing themselves out in the process. . . a dozen years later I looked over the pieces of paper that had yellowed and felt the breath of air from those days. . . When some of them were exhibited at the Petach Tikva memorial museum I saw the reaction of the viewers. . . . contents: Jerusalem under Siege, bombarded kibutzim, Negev fighters, armor, canon, officers, military posts, Air, Navy, army, older timers, in the kitchen, here and there. . .

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Gutman, Nahum (illustrator). 235 X 167 mm. 31 pages. 29 full page illustrations. The Negev Brigade (literally: the Negev Animals) was an Israeli commando unit established in December 1947 by Simcha Shiloni and dismantled in 1949. It was sent to the Negev to protect the water lines and roads between the settlements, which came under attack immediately after, and in response to, the U.N. resolution of November 29, 1947 which proposed the creation of two states west of the Jordan river, one Jewish, one Arab. The Arabs rejected a Jewish state in the middle east back then and ever since. Initially the Negev Brigade had one closed truck and one pickup truck, light weapons, no radios, no warm winter clothing, and no ammunition/gear belts. They kept their grenades and rifle rounds in their pockets, were short on food, slept in tents and had to sometimes go into action wearing undershirts because the sweaters needed to stay dry for overnight operations. In mid-January 1948 they received a few armored vehicles. On 27 January 1948 they took their first overt aggressive action. That morning they received a report that a truck with weapons was leaving Beersheba with weapons to be distributed to Bedouins. They overcame the Arabs. On Saturday January 31 one of their two armored vehicles was stalled due to mechanical failure. When a British patrol came upon it, the British tried to confiscate the arms and ammunition, but the other Negev Animals vehicle showed up, threatened the British and prevented the confiscation of weapons. In February 1948 they damaged property of Bedouins who sabotaged water lines in the Negev. They operated around the clock, and living conditions caused them to grow beards, consequently developing the image of a bunch of wild men. They called themselves The Negev Animals and adopted the image of a camel, which was painted on the sides of their vehicles. One of them went to town and had metal insignia made with the Camel image. These they wore on their lapels or hats.
