Studies in the History of Russian-Israeli Literature
This collection of essays covers a hundred-year history of Russian-language literature in Israel, including the pre-state period. Some of the studies are devoted to an overview of the literary process and the activities of its participants, others—to individual genres and movements. As a result, a complex and multifaceted picture emerges of a not quite fully defined, but very lively and dynamic community that develops in the most difficult conditions. The contributors trace the paths of Russian-Israeli prose, poetry and drama, various waves of avant-garde, fantasy, and critical thought. Today, in Russian-Israeli literature, the voices of writers of various generations and waves of repatriation are intertwined: from the "seventies" to the "war aliyah" of the recent times. Both the Russian-Israeli authors and their critics often hold different opinions of their respective roles in Israel’s historical and literary storms. While disagreeing on the definition of their place on the map of modern culture, Russian-Israeli writers are united by a shared bond with the fate of the Jewish state.

Zion's Fiction
In sechzehn Geschichten nehmen uns sechzehn israelische Autor:innen auf eine phantastische Reise mit. Dabei treffen wir etwa auf hochentwickelte Mäuse, die einen Krieg gegen die Menschheit führen, auf drei Geschwister, die den Weltrekord im Puzzeln brechen wollen, auf eine Frau, die den Tod heiratet, und auf eine Telepathin, die die Gedanken Verstorbener liest und sich Stück für Stück darin verliert. Die Texte eint hierbei nicht bloß der Entwurf einer spekulativen Welt, nicht bloß das Phantastische, das in der Tradition biblischer Geschichten steht, sondern auch der Blick auf zentrale menschliche Erfahrungen. Die abwechslungsreiche Anthologie versammelt Texte junger und alter, bekannter und unbekannter Autor:innen aus Israel und feiert die Lust am Erzählen. Die Mitwirkenden: Lavie Tidhar, Gail Hareven, Keren Landsman, Guy Hasson, Nava Semel, Nir Yaniv, Eyal Teler, Rotem Baruchin, Mordechai Sasson, Sayvon Liebrecht, Elana Gomel, Pesakh (Pavel) Amnuel, Yael Furman, Gur Shomron, Nitay Peretz und Shimon Adaf
