Pinchas Sadeh, also transliterated Pinhas Sadeh, (Hebrew: פנחס שדה‎, born Pinchas Feldman, 1929, in Lemberg, Poland, died January 30, 1994, in Jerusalem, Israel) was a Polish-born Israeli novelist and poet.[1][2][3][4]

Early life

Sadeh was born in Poland.[1] He immigrated to what was then Palestine in 1934.[1] He lived and studied in Kibbutz Sarid. Later, he studied in England.[5]

Literary career

In his early poetry Sadeh expressed the Zionist ideals and pioneer spirit.[1] In the 1960s, his work was more personal.[1]

His collections of poetry included Burden of Dumah and Life as a Parable.[1] His novels included One Man's Condition and Death of Avimelech.[1]

Sadeh won the 1990 Bialik Prize for Literature, jointly with T. Carmi and Natan Yonatan.[6]

He died in Jerusalem on January 30, 1994, at the age of 64.[1][7]

In 2005, Sadeh was voted the 182nd-greatest Israeli of all time, in a poll by the Israeli news website Ynet to determine whom the general public considered the 200 Greatest Israelis.[8]
