"'From Woman to Fox' is the most amazing and excellent novella I've read in a long time." H.G. Wells held this book in your hands for a moment. In our opinion, this is one of the most beautiful British novellas of all time: such a literary miracle. A work that invites many readings, a perfect gift for a person you appreciate, or love. A story that knows how to be uplifting, liberating, moving and funny – hence its status as a magical object. A magical book: “Charming”. The frame story is very simple: a young, wealthy and loving couple – Sylvia and Richard Tebrick – get married and move to live in an isolated estate in the Oxfordshire countryside. A few months after their marriage, during a walk by the couple at noon, Sylvia turns into a fox. “From Woman to Fox” is a story about human transformations: physical, mental, instinctual, sexual and material. It is a plot that gives meaning to the events of our lives – not according to the logical rules of the world, but based on the power of the imagination. Before us is writing that changes – like Sylvia’s character – To capture everything: humor, allegory, adventure, drama, fantasy, realism, love, pain and passion. Since its publication in 1922 – just seven years after Kafka’s “Transfiguration” – David Garnett’s “From Woman to Fox” has never ceased to enchant its readers. We are therefore honored to present for the first time in Hebrew translation a novella that was a bestseller in its time, adapted into theater and musical countless times, one of Jorge Luis Borges’ favorite books – a book that earned its author eternal fame. “Garnett tells his parable with the ironic subtlety and precision of an eighteenth-century prose master.” Jorge Luis Borges “In Garnett’s case, the plot is less crucial and the path is what is important – the form, the words and the harmonious progression between the chords that build it.” Jorge Luis Borges “My Dear Bunny: Finally, Finally Hawthorne has chosen the right book. A thousand blessings, please invest the hundred pounds in writing another book." Virginia Woolf
