View Rights PortalI'm representing modern Israeli Russian-speaking writer Jonathan Vidgop. This author's first book was granted fund of Israeli president and received recognition in Israel in 1999. The author writes rarely. There are two very different books offered. One, a result of 20 years of collecting historical material, is a collection of more than 100 very funny short stories of sexuality and attitude to Jews of famous personalities of different countries and times. The other book, very recent, is a a grotesque phantasmagoria, novel "Testimony", whose style, if any, can be compared to Susskind's Perfume. See description of the books below.

Fledermäuse basteln, die Uhr lesen, Schiffchen bauen, malen, auf Drachen reiten, andere trösten, auf der Ukulele schrammeln, Schätze suchen, auf andere zugehen, Fragen stellen, tanzen, tagträumen – es gibt viel wichtigere Sachen im Leben eines Kindes als ›besser – schneller – weiter‹, als Schularbeiten und Tests, nämlich Fantasie und Herzensbildung und jede Menge Lebensfreude. Davina Bell und Allison Colpoys rauschen mit den Leserinnen und Lesern in gewitzten Reimen und knallig-fröhlichen Bildern durch all das, worin Kinder jeden Tag ganz nebenbei aufgehen und glänzen. Und zeigen dabei: Jeder kann etwas anderes gut, denn jeder ist einzigartig. Dieses lebendige, farbenfrohe Buch feiert all die Dinge, die jedes einzelne Kind ausmachen und ihm Wert verleihen – und das ist mehr als gute Noten, Stillsitzen und Bravsein.
Der kleine Alfie möchte zu gerne zur Verkleidungsparty in der Schule gehen, sein Kostüm – ein Seestern – liegt schon bereit. Doch kurz davor verlässt ihn der Mut – er ist einfach zu schüchtern. Seine Mutter geht stattdessen mit ihm ins Aquarium, wo Alfie staunend vor der großen Glasscheibe steht und einen Clownfisch beobachtet, der sich kurz zeigt und dann gleich wieder zwischen den Korallen versteckt. »Manchmal müssen Clownfische sich einfach verstecken. So sind sie einfach«, sagt Alfies Mutter. »Menschen auch«, sagt Alfie. Doch bei der nächsten Verkleidungsparty traut er sich – im Kostüm eines Clownfischs. In wunderbar warmem Ton und poetischen Bildern erzählen Davina Bell und Allison Colpoys davon, dass man sich manchmal die Bettdecke über den Kopf ziehen muss und es einfach ein bisschen dauert, bis man bereit ist für die Welt da draußen.
Tim, who with Annika and Malte has qualified for the second round, is confronted with the biggest challenge of his running career: he, his friends and their arch rivals Jeremy, Darius and Vanessa must form a team that will perform perfectly together. How well they succeed will be judged by millions of spectators, because every moment of this competition will be broadcast live by the media company Global Games. The decision as to who wins has long since ceased to be a matter of ability. Whether the prize is worth the challenge is open to question.
