Mapu, Abraham

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.07 sec.

Mapu, Abraham (1808–1867)

Novelist born in Lithuania (then part of Russia) who wrote in Hebrew. Mapu was the author of the first novel to be written in Hebrew, Ahavat Zion/Love of Zion 1853, a romance set in biblical times, which proved immensely popular. His romanticized images of ancient Israel helped prepare the ground for a resurgence of Jewish nationalist feeling towards the end of the 19th century.
