Zygmunt Frankel
Often described as "a cynic with a human face", Zygmunt Frankel (1929-1997) was born in Poland and grew up in Siberia. He lived in England before settling in Israel in time to participate in the Sinai, Six-Day and Yom-Kippur wars. Israel, seen with an affectionate but critical eye, provides the background to about half his writing.
His novel Short War, Short Lives was published by Abelard-Schuman in New York. Stories and poems were published in Transatlantic Review, London Magazine, Adam International Review, The European, Tel-Aviv Review and other British, American and Israeli literary magazines. Frankel wrote mostly in English but a series of Hebrew children books that he both wrote and illustrated, recently appeared in both English and Japanese. A Witch Growing Old, a collection of translated short stories, was published in Hebrew and the award-winning The Octopus appeared in Arabic.
Frankel was also a painter, printer, translator, sculptor, editor, photographer and an accomplished automation engineer
