Menachem Talmi was born in 1926 in Ramat Gan. He served in the Haganah and later in the Palmach, and fought to break the siege of Jerusalem in The War of Independence. Talmi contributed popular columns to Ma’ariv for many years, and remains well-known for his journalism, adventure novels for young readers, travel books about Israel, and his six collections of stories and sketches about Jaffa. A volume of these stories has recently been translated into Russian. Menachem Talmi lives in Tel Aviv.
