Translations into Hebrew from American Literature and some additions from World Literature

My business card reads, "Every Kind of Jewish Book." My stock includes a wide variety of translations of World literature into Hebrew and Yiddish. Hebrew translations are now a major part of Israeli Book publishing and the variety of sources that the Israeli Publishing Industry mines is surprisingly diverse. Below is a selection from authors who would be known to the average American reader. Translations are a major element in the formation of mature national literatures and for the Hebrew language an opportunity to introduce new linguistic opportunities. These title are available through the hollanderbooks.com website, subject to prior sale.
