Jacob Taiz new article content ... Jacob Taiz was an author, illustrator, and translator of classic Jewish literature. His father was the famous writer Moishe Haimovich Taiz (or Moishe Taish - Some of his books published in Yiddish: Derzeilungen, Warsaw, 1909; Schriftn, Warsaw1912; Fun jidische Kinder wegn, Kharkov, 1918; Far 20 Jor, Vilius, 1927). Jacob Taiz graduated in 1929 from the Higher Artistic and Technical Institute in Moscow and was first published in 1930. His books for children included: Offensive Team (1930), Where are you from? (1935), Anton (1036), and others. His cycle of short stories, Inextinguishable Light (1958), described his own childhood. One of the greatest aspects of Taiz’s writing are his rounded and sympathetic characters, who leap to life off the page. Taiz’s stories and novellas are devoted to the everyday: day workers, soldiers, farmers, and children. His books are timeless classics that are as delightful today as they were the day they were written.
