Zion’s Fiction: A Treasury of Israeli Speculative Literature<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a>, eds. Sheldon Teitelbaum and Emanuel Lottem (Mandel-Vilar Press, 2018).\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
“This anthology showcases the best Israeli science fiction and fantasy literature published since the 1980s. The stories included come from Hebrew, Russian, and English-language sources, and include well-known authors such as Shimon Adaf, Pesach (Pavel) Amnuel, Gail Hareven, Savyon Liebrecht, Nava Semel and Lavie Tidhar, as well as a hot-list of newly translated Israeli writers. The book features: an historical and contemporary survey of Israeli science fiction and fantasy literature by the editors; a foreword by revered SF\/F writer Robert Silverberg,; an afterword by Dr. Aharon Hauptman, the founding editor of\u00a0Fantasia 2000<\/em>, Israel\u2019s seminal SF\/F magazine; an author biography for each story included in the volume; and illustrations for each story by award winning American-born Israeli artist, Avi Katz.”<\/span><\/p>\n read Teitelbaum’s Introduction<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Translated stories from the Hebrew:<\/strong><\/span> Reviews:<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n Forget about start-up nation! Inspired by a science fiction novel – the 1903 proto-Steampunk utopia Old New Land<\/em> by Theodor Herzl – the State of Israel is the quintessential science fiction nation.<\/span><\/p>\n Enter, More Zion’s Fiction: Wondrous Tales from the Israeli ImagiNation<\/em>, the second of an authoritative three-volume English language collection of Israeli speculative fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n Herzl, the Austrian journalist once famously declared: “If you will it, it is no dream.” Herzl’s dream was to create a modern Jewish state in the historical homeland of the Jewish people. Ours is to forge out a literary refuge for the kind of unbridled literary fancy his aspirants, tasked with transforming his science-fictional vision into a hardscrabble reality, could not bring themselves to accomplish. Yours, we hope, will be to help us pry open a long-shuttered window into the dreams and nightmares of a nation quite unlike any other.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Translated stories from the Hebrew:<\/strong><\/span>
