Literature

Israel is world-renowned for it's Hebrew-language literary achievement. Israeli publications are seen at key International book fairs and on the shelves of bookstores worldwide. Literature in Israel is now not only being produced in Hebrew but being translated into a variety of languages to be exported around the world.

We have begun to see a dramatic rise of publications in Israel as well as an impressive growth in the number of female writers being published. The Israeli literature market today is not only known for its fiction, poetry and drama but for an extensive list of children's books.

"Israel has a rich and rapidly evolving literary culture, inspired both by the drama of its emergence as a new state and by the interaction of immigrants from diverse cultures in its small but vibrant population. Amid a debate on what constitutes contemporary Israeli culture, a new wave of authors and a wide variety of literary styles have emerged in Hebrew fiction and poetry."
