Jacob Fichman (Hebrew:יעקב פיכמן; 25 November 1881 – 18 May 1958), also transliterated asYakov Fichman, was an acclaimedHebrew poet, essayist and literary critic.
Fichman was born inBălți, Bessarabia,Moldova in 1881. He initially emigrated toOttoman Palestine in 1912, but returned temporarily to Europe and was stranded there until after World War I, not returning to the thenMandate Palestine, laterIsrael, until 1919. where he died in 1958.
Fichman's poetry followed a traditional lyric Romantic style. His poetic background is reflected in his works of prose, which were sometimes seen as being nearly works of poetry in themselves. His other work included textbooks, articles in periodicals and introductions in literary anthologies. His critical essays focused heavily on the lives of the authors rather than on focusing directly on their work, giving the reader a holistic view of the author and the work.
