Haggadah

Производитель: "HAMISH HAMILTON"

Read each year around the Seder table, the Haggadah recounts through prayer and song the extraordinary story of Exodus, when Moses led the ancient Israelites out of slavery in Egypt to wander through the desert for forty years before reaching the Promised Land. In this new version of the traditional Haggadah text, Jonathan Safran Foer brings together some of the most preeminent voices of our time. Nathan Englander's new translation, beautifully designed and illustrated by the Israeli artist and typographer Ozed Ezer, is accompanied by thought-provoking essays by major Jewish writers and thinkers, including Howard Jacobsen, Daniel Handler and Rebecca Goldstein.

Hamish Hamilton

"For other uses of the name Hamish Hamilton, please see Hamish Hamilton (disambiguation)"

Hamish Hamilton Limited was a British book publishing house, founded eponymously by the half-Scot half-American Jamie Hamilton ("Hamish" is the Celtic form, "James" the English form - which was also his given name, and "Jamie" the diminutive form). Confusingly, Jamie Hamilton was often referred to as "Hamish Hamilton". The publishing brand "Hamish Hamilton" is presently an imprint of Penguin Books.

"Hamish Hamilton Limited" originally specialized in fiction, and was responsible for publishing a number of American authors in the United Kingdom - including J.D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye". "Hamish Hamilton Law" and "Hamish Hamilton Medical" were started in 1939 but closed during the war. Hamish Hamilton was established in the literary district of Bloomsbury and went on to publish a large number of promising British and American authors, a large number of whom were personal friends and acquaintances of "Jamie Hamilton".

Jamie Hamilton sold the firm to the Thomson Organisation in 1965, who resold it to Penguin Books in 1986.
