Dear Friends,
February has brought us a new list of fantastic bestsellers of the most recent Hebrew, translated into Hebrew and children's books in Israel. On the Hebrew list, you will find titles like Oren Majar's acclaimed Muvtalina, and the fascinating look at art and intrigue in the 17nth century Hasifa Kfula (Double indentity) by Doron Lurie. The translated titles include the international bestseller Echo Burning by Lee Child and Patricia Cornwell's controversial Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper, Case Closed. The month is superior for children's titles. You can get the beautifully illustrated Tfilyla or a translated version of Madonna's Mr. Peabody's Apples. With its Hopper/Rockwell like illustration, this book really is a work of art. Furthermore, Israel's acclaimed author Meir Shalev brings us two amazing children's titles this month Roni, Nomi and Jacob the Bear, and The Boy Chaim and the Monster from Jerusalem. These books are will illustrated, beautifully written and the latter even features a small dictionary in the back to guide children through Meir Shalev's prose. To see these and many many other fascinating titles, just send me an email to <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] In the meantime, enjoy the read.
