Savyon liebrecht biography of martin

Liebrecht was born in Munich to Holocaust survivors who immigrated to Israel soon afterwards. She studied philosophy and literature at Tel Aviv University and began publishing in 1986. Her first collection of stories, Tappuḥim min ha-Midbar ("Apples from the Desert," 1998) appeared in 1986.

The title story tells of a young teacher who stages a confrontation with a woman who apparently was her father's mistress 30 years earlier. In other stories Liebrecht introduces an Israeli Jewish woman who wishes to build a room on the roof of her house, and an Arab worker; a woman who seeks her daughter and learns thereby something about herself and her life; and a woman whose son has become deeply religious.

Other collections include Susim al Kevish Gehah ("Horses on the Highway," 1988); Sinit Ani Medabberet Elekha ("It's All Greek to Me, He Said to Her," 1992); Ẓarikh Sof le-Sippur Ahavah (&#
