About 170 booklets published by "HaRoman HaZair" and "HaKulmus". [Tel-Aviv], ca. 1939-1960.
"HaRoman HaZair" publishing house was founded in the 1930s in Hungary by a Jewish journalist named Miklós (Moshe) Faragó. In Hungary the publishing house was called "Világvárosi Regények" and published mainly Hungarian popular literature.
In 1939 Miklosh Faragó and his two sons, Abraham and Israel, immigrated to Palestine and the three of them decided to start a Hebrew publishing house in a similar format. The name of the publishing house was changed to "HaRoman HaZair"
Most of the published stories were translated from Hungarian. Avigdor Hameiri
was the first editor of this publishing house, however, only for a short period. The Faragó brothers wanted the language of the translation to be close as possible to spoken Hebrew, while the language of Hameiri was too sophisticated for their taste. The Faragó brothers undertook the work of editing while the name of Hameiri continued to appear in the booklets for his reputation. In 1952, the Faragó brothers were asked to change the title of the series to a more distinguished Hebrew name, and they chose the name "Kulmus" which served them until the closure of the publishing house.
About 10 booklets appear in two copies.
Enclosed: 7 booklets from different series: Rififi, Sifriyat Shamir, Bill Carter and more.
Approx. 15 cm. Condition varies. Good-fair overall condition. Several booklets missing wrappers.
