The Roosters and the Fox. Moscow-Odessa: "Omanut", "Gamliel" Library, 1922.
A parable of Berachyahu HaNakdan, adapted by Chaim Nachman Bialik. Illustrations by Moshe Moltzmacher. [12] pp, 30x22 cm. Very good condition. Minor damages to borders of cover.
"One of the nicest books of the ‘Gamliel’ series is ‘The Roosters and the Fox’, based on Berachyahu HaNakdan's parable which Bialik enhanced with a clever text full of humor. The illustrations in this book excel in their decorativity and color and are extraordinary in their beauty and intensity. The description of the animals is delicate yet dynamic, and the complex compositions of the chickens’ movements as a homogenized group – all move right or left, or all peck together – are very successfully rhythmic". (From: Ayala Gordon, Iyurim Ivri'im, Nachum Gutman Museum, Tel Aviv, [2005] page 107).
