History [edit]
Am Oved was founded in 1942 by Berl Katznelson, who was its first Editor in Chief. It was created as an organ of the Histadrut, Israel's federation of Labor, with a goal of publishing books that would "meet the spiritual needs of the working public." Its most well-known series is "Sifriyah La'am" (People's Library), a series of paperback fiction, similar in many respects to Penguin.
Today [edit]
Am Oved publishes 100 new titles annually, in addition to 250 reprints of classics of Hebrew literature and world literature in translation.[1]
