Abraham Mapu

Abraham Mapu (Vilijampolė (distretto di Kaunas), 1808 – Königsberg, 1867) è stato un romanziere lituano.

Scriveva in ebraico come parte del movimento Haskalah (illuminismo). I suoi romanzi, con le loro trame vivaci che comprendono eroismo, avventura e amore romantico in contesti biblici, hanno contribuito all'ascesa del movimento sionista.^[1]

«By fostering pride in the national past and focusing attention on the land of Israel, Mapu provided an emotional stimulus for generations of young readers. Indeed, the contribution of his novels to the rise of the Jewish national movement from which Zionism later emerged must be regarded as an important factor in modern Jewish history.»
