<p>Large quarto 27.5x22.5 cm. wrappers 10 pp. The Omanut or Omonuth publishing house Moscow-Odessa-Frankfurt-Tel Aviv and its Gamiliel Library of children's literature was founded by the scion Shoshana Persitz 1894-1969 funded by her father Hillel Zlatopolskii and her husband Iosif Persitz. Shoshana was 24 when she began the press. Omanut is the Hebrew word for "art." Shoshana was deeply involved already in the Tarbut group which in 1917 vowed to restore Hebrew language and she wanted Hebrew to be the mother tongue of Russian Jews who were historically prosecuted and Hebrew was confined to religious texts. Persitz was inspired by the esthetics of the Mir iskusstva group of artists and to print children's books with fine works of renowned Western authors --- Lewis Carroll Jules Verne Charles Dickens and printed as beautifully as possible. Jewish children would thus be able to partake of best children's literature in their own language. This would be a <em>hidur Mitzvah</em> --- a sanctification of the world through beauty inculcated into young Jewish readers. Originating in Moscow in 1918 Persitz was unable to print the first titles there because the Bolsheviks nationalized her equipment. She with her family together with the entire Tarbut group relocated in a special train provided by a German diplomat to Odessa where the press found temporary quarters. In Odessa the artist group Havarut Tzavarim was formed and connected with Omanut. It consisted of four Jewish artists who provided graphics for most of the books issued under the Gamiliel Library imprint. They decided not to attribute work to any one member acting as a single <em>bunt</em>. After Odessa fell to the Soviets and the revolutionary government posed the same threat to the press there Persitz exiled to Germany at Homburg vor der Höhe near Frankfurt where Omanut continued to publish and release the largest number of titles of the Gamiliel Library which were twelve in all. In 1925 the press moved from Europe to Tel-Aviv and Shoshana became a member of the Knesset. The Omanut publishing house continued to 1945 with a strong emphasis on educational texts. But the Gamliel Library was discontinued after leaving Europe and received scant attention thereafter. A beautiful chapter of Hebrew children's literature deserves to be more widely known and honor paid to this wonderful series released in small quantities and currently held by institutions. The present work The Nightengale has rtwork by Heorhyi Narbut 1886-1920 Ukrainian master graphic artist for this famous tale of Hans Christian Andersen. One of the early releases of this series from Odessa by the Omanut Press which originated with Knebel's Russian language printing. One institutional holding found worldwide LOC. A fine copy.</p> Omanut paperback
