My Father at Age Seventy-Nine
My Father at Age Seventy-Nine* Ronit Matalon (bio) Translated by Mikhal Dekel Several weeks ago I was sitting in a café with the writer Nurit Zarkhi,1 who has known me since I was about five—both of us are from that horrible city Petakh Tikva2— and while we were talking, an old acquaintance of Nurit came to our table.

"From the Mouth of the Raped Woman Rivka Schiff," Kishinev, 1903
“From the Mouth of the Raped Woman Rivka Schiff,” Kishinev, 1903 Mikhal Dekel (bio) When the swine broke into the attic through the roof, a few of them jumped on the Zichec daughter first.

"Who Taught This Foreign Woman About the Ways and Lives of the Jews?"
The essay centers on the Hebrew translation and the reception of George Eliot's Daniel Deronda among Hebrew readers of the late nineteenth century. It provides a historical account of the various translation stages and analyzes Deronda's importance as model citizen among aspiring nationalists. It also investigates Eliot's place, and the place of women in general, within the predominantly male Hebrew reading public.
