Avraham Shlonsky (March 6, 1900 – May 18, 1973; (ヘブライ語:אברהם שלונסקי); (ロシア語:Авраам Шлёнский)) was a significant and dynamic Israeli poet and editor born in the Russian Empire.〔()〕 He was influential in the development of modern Hebrew and its literature in Israel through his many acclaimed translations of literary classics, particularly from Russian, as well as his own original Hebrew children's classics. Known for his humor, Shlonsky earned the nickname "Lashonsky" from the wisecrackers of his generation (''lashon'' means "tongue", i.e., "language") for his unusually clever and astute innovations in the newly evolving Hebrew language. == Biography== Avraham Shlonsky was born to a Hasidic family in Kryukovo (Poltava ''guberniya'', now a part of Kremenchuk, Ukraine). His father, Tuvia, was a Chabad Hasid, and his mother, Tzippora, was a Russian revolutionary. When she was pregnant with her sixth child, she hid illegal posters on her body. Five-year-old Avraham informed on his mother, leading to her arrest. Four of his siblings were prodigies.〔(Biography/The founding father )〕 His younger sister was composer and pianist Verdina Shlonsky. In 1913, when Shlonsky was 13, he was sent to Ottoman Palestine to study at the prestigious Herzliya Hebrew High School in Tel Aviv. When the First World War broke out, he returned to Ukraine.〔()〕 In 1921, the whole family moved to Palestine. Tuvia Shlonsky worked as a warehouse manager and bookkeeper in the Shemen factory in Haifa.〔 Avraham was a manual laborer, paving roads and working in construction along with other members of the Third Aliyah. He joined Gdud Ha'avoda and helped to establish Kibbutz Ein Harod in the Jezreel Valley. He married Lucia but conducted a secret affair with Mira Horowitz, the wife of a friend and colleague. She had a child with him in 1936.〔 Avraham Shlonsky died in Tel Aviv in 1973.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Avraham Shlonsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
