  《以色列當代文學譯叢》是上海譯文出版社在以色列希伯來文學翻譯研究所的資助下翻譯出版的大型文學譯叢,選收以色列當代最負盛名的10位作家、詩人的代表作品,共10卷。是迄今國內最系統最全面展示以色列當代絢麗多彩的文學創作的珍貴文學叢書。

  耶胡達‧阿米亥是以色列當代最杰出、最具國際影響力的大詩人,共出版過23本詩集及其他多種著作,被譯成33種語言。《開‧閉‧開》是阿米亥最後一本詩集,本詩集大量應用希伯來《聖經》,富有濃厚的歷史感,而詩人有將現代社會的意象疊加在這種歷史背景之上,具有反譏色彩。

  本書是阿米亥最後一本詩集,這本詩集大量引用希伯來《聖經》,富有濃厚的歷史感,而詩人又將現代社會的意象疊加在這種歷史背景之上,形成一種帶有民族特色並富有意蘊的對比,具有深刻的反諷色彩。另外,這本詩集的整體結構也深有意味,各個篇目的標題只作為主題的發展動機,並不代表該篇的全部內涵,大多數篇目都由數首無題短詩構成,各短詩之間又互有關聯;語佔平實如話,但富于機趣,而且結構精巧,既可作單首詩看,更應從整體考察。由是,整本詩集並非零散詩篇的拼湊,而成為一個融洽完美的整體。

本書是《以色列當代文學譯叢》叢書中的《開‧閉‧開》。

Yehuda Amichai (Hebrew: יהודה עמיחי‎; ‎3 May 1924 – 22 September 2000) was an Israeli poet. Amichai is considered by many, both in Israel and internationally, as Israel's greatest modern poet. He was also one of the first to write in colloquial Hebrew.

Yehuda Amichai [was] for generations the most prominent poet in Israel, and one of the leading figures in world poetry since the mid-1960s.

(The Times, London, Oct. 2000)

He was awarded the 1957 Shlonsky Prize, the 1969 Brenner Prize, 1976 Bialik Prize, and 1982 Israel Prize. He also won international poetry prizes: 1994 – Malraux Prize: International Book Fair (France), 1995 – Macedonia`s Golden Wreath Award: International Poetry Festival, and more.

Yehuda Amichai was born in Würzburg, Germany, to an Orthodox Jewish family, and was raised speaking both Hebrew and German.

Amichai immigrated with his family at the age of 11 to Petah Tikva in Mandate Palestine in 1935, moving to Jerusalem in 1936. He attended Ma'aleh, a religious high school in Jerusalem. He was a member of the Palmach, the strike force of the Haganah, the defense force of the Jewish community in Mandate Palestine. As a young man he volunteered and fought in World War II as a member of the British Army, and in the Negev on the southern front in the Israeli War of Independence.

After discharge from the British Army in 1946, Amichai was a student at David Yellin Teachers College in Jerusalem, and became a teacher in Haifa. After the War of Independence, Amichai studied Bible and Hebrew literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Encouraged by one of his professors at Hebrew University, he published his first book of poetry, Now and in Other Days, in 1955.

In 1956, Amichai served in the Sinai War, and in 1973 he served in the Yom Kippur War. Amichai published his first novel, Not of This Time, Not of This Place, in 1963. It was about a young Israeli who was born in Germany, and after World War II, and the war of Independence in Israel, he visits his hometown in Germany, recalls his childhood, trying to make sense of the world that created the Holocaust. His second novel, Mi Yitneni Malon, about an Israeli poet living in New York, was published in 1971 while Amichai was a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley. He was a poet in residence at New York University in 1987. For many years he taught literature in an Israeli seminar for teachers, and at the Hebrew University to students from abroad.

Amichai was invited in 1994 by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to read from his poems at the ceremony of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo.

"God has pity on kindergarten children" was one of the poems he read. This poem is inscribed on a wall in the Rabin Museum in Tel-Aviv. There are Streets on his name in cities in Israel, and also one in Wurzburg.

Amichai was married twice. First to Tamar Horn, with whom he had one son, and then to Chana Sokolov; they had one son and one daughter. His two sons were Ron and David, and his daughter was Emmanuella.

He died of cancer in 2000, at age 76.
