In “Aphrodite on Metzizim Beach” Nurit Manor weaves different stories – funny, moral, fantasy, nostalgia, autobiography and adventures. (Hebrew)
Each story takes the reader into a different direction and angle of life. There are short stories that develop in silent steps, there are mystery stories, there are poetic and Zen stories.
Each story is accompanied by an illustration, engraving or photograph, which brings a visual aspect to the text, and takes the reader into a Journey. The drawings created by the author, in Black and white.
A young man arrives at Metzizim Beach in Tel Aviv and meets Aphrodite. A woman travels around India and experiences an extraordinary meeting with her dead father. In another story, a young woman cries out an universal cry, in the name of the silent citizens. There is a story of a courages of a woman in Abarbanel, a psychiatric hospital, a story about a trip to a music festival in the south of France and more.

The stories take place in Israel and in different parts of the world, and the reader assimilates into the landscape, ideas, and grasps the experiences of the heroes, and breathes real life stories.
The thread that connects all the stories – human love, human acceptance, the hand of chance and the mysteries of fate.
