הספר הצהוב

Rate this book
" לגדל ילד זה לא קונץ. הקונץ הוא לגדל אותו שלא יהיה חמור... ". משפט זה של המשורר הדגול טניסון, עמד כמו נר לרגלי בעת כתיבת ספר זה. ספר זה אינו מתיימר להיות מדריך לאב הצעיר אלא - לכל היותר - מורה דרך שיכוון מעשיו ויסביר לו מה העניינים פה.

... הספר מכונה " הספר הצהוב" משום שברבות הימים יהיה בוודאי ספוג פיפי. אם היושב ראש הקטן שלך הוא גבר כהלכה יהיה ספר זה צהוב מהר הרבה יותר ממה שאתה סבור.

אתה לא מוכרח לקרוא את הספר הזה, אתה יכול רק לדפדף בו. הרוח הקלילה שישיבו הדפים הקטנים על פניך, תיתן בךמישנה כוח לגשת שוב אל התינוק המתייפח ולא לחסלו במכת קראטה קלה.

Yehonatan Geffen

33 books4 followers
Yehonatan Geffen (Hebrew: יהונתן גפן) was born in moshav Nahalal. He is the father of Aviv Geffen, Shira Geffen and Natasha Geffen, as well as nephew of Moshe Dayan. He has two grandsons. In 1965, he served as a paratrooper under Matan Vilnaì, and became an officer. In 1967, his mother overdosed on her medication and died. Geffen considers it to have been suicide. After his discharge from the IDF in 1969 and moving to Tel Aviv, he took up poetry. In 1972, while Geffen was studying in London, his sister Nurit committed suicide, causing him to return to Tel Aviv. During this period he began writing a column for the weekend supplement of Ma'ariv, and he joined the entertainment troupe "Lul" with Uri Zohar, Arik Einstein, and Shalom Hanoch. The latter introduced Geffen to his future wife, Nurit Makober. Geffen was often criticized for his strong left-wing leanings, which bordered on provocation, and even received death threats. He was one of a group of journalists (including Uri Dan, Yeshayahu Ben Porat, Eitan Haber, Hezi Carmel, Eli Landau, and Eli Tavor) who in 1973 published the book The Failure, the first book to document the Yom Kippur War. It criticized the performance of the government and military and also contained first-hand descriptions of battles, casualties, injuries, and the losses and failures of military hardware. The book aroused considerable public interest. Much of Geffen's success came from his works for children, like the song "HaYalda Hachi Yafa BaGan" ["The Prettiest Girl in Kindergarten"] and the book "HaKeves HaShisha Asar" [The 16th Sheep], but he has also written many popular songs, poems, plays, and stories for adults. He frequently collaborated with David Broza, rendering Spanish songs into Hebrew.
