Dan Berg

writer and translator

Hello and welcome to my website!

Although I stick to Jewish themes, my books are essentially about universal issues, and I hope it can be felt.

 

The action of most of my fiction takes place on the stage of past centuries, but the perceptive reader will see contemporary problems.

 

My heroes are kings, military leaders, rich merchants, and simple Hasids. They love, hate, fight, kill, keep loyalty, betray, rejoice, suffer. The characters discuss the fundamental issues of Judaism: one God or several gods, chosenness, the coming of the Savior, the importance of Scripture experts, the attitude to women, the mutual dislike of Jews and other peoples. The problems of modern Israel are touched upon. The reader will feel which views are close to the author. 

 

I use Old Testament legends, Jewish folklore and fiction for my plots. World literary classics are an important source of my inspiration.

 

There is a lot of humor, irony, and allusions in the pages of the books.
