חלם עיר החכמים

Rate this book
העיר חלם התפרסמה בעולם בעיקר תודות לסיפורים המבדחים הרבים על "חכמי חלם" ומעשיהם התמימים-אויליים, סיפורים שבגללם זוכה אדם לתואר "חלמאי".

עשרת הסיפורים הכלולים בספר הם גרסה חדשה של כמה מהמעשיות העממיות, שנוצרו על חכמי חלם.

אוריאל אופק, המוכר לקוראים מספריו ומתרגומיו הרבים, כתב את המעשיות האלה מחדש וגם הוסיף להן נופך מדמיונו.

100 pages, Hardcover

Published January 1, 1988

Ofek was born in Tel Aviv to his Father, the Yiddish poet Arie Popik, grew up in Giv'atayim and studied in Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium. He served as a medic in the Palmach Brigades, 1944–1949, War of Independence and served in Gush Etzion and was in Jordanian captivity, where he spent about nine months.

He edited the children's newspaper 'Davar L'iladim' (children's supplement of Davar) for many years and laid the foundation for the Bibliography of Jewish children's literature, Hebrew and Yiddish, the global children's literature, both knees of children's literature.

He had a doctorate degree in children's literature from the University of Toronto.

Many of his books are based on experiences in childhood and youth in neighborhood Borochov in Giv'atayim, where he grew up. He describes landscapes, events and characters from the period preceding the establishment of Israel – the Slick of Aldema, Battles in Wadi Musrara, and the Seven Mills along the Yarkon river.

His widow, Bina Ofek, and two daughters, Atara Ofek and Amira Hachamowitz, are writers and editors for children as well.

Ofek died from a blood cancer in 1987 at the age of 61.
