Three School Notebooks of the Israeli Actor and Comedian Sefi Rivlin
Three notebooks from elementary school 'Teva' [science] class which belonged to the actor and comedian Sefi Rivlin, all three written in his handwriting, and personal matters from a later age. 
Elementary school notebooks from 5th-8th grade. The three notebooks contain his homework [mainly on the topic of animals and the human body], notes from class, diagrams and pictures, all in his handwriting. 
In the science notebook from 8th grade are 6 pages which he wrote at an older age on personal topics. The content is extremely personal and relates to a number of events in his life: "I am sometimes almost envious of Oscar Wilde and the Greek Chorus...they all want to escape from life's pains...it seems that the strongest creatures in the world are those who are lonely, such as turtles...".
There are also things which he wrote to his close friend: "There is no reason for you to try to fool yourself about love, you wont receive it as a gift without getting your hands dirty, you need courage and blood...do you remember the first night of that rotten party...I only discovered that this was not really calmness after we got married...I may well be a lost cause..." and more.  The handwriting in these additional writings is different from the handwriting in the science notebooks, as they were written at a later stage of Rivlin's life. However, it is possible that they were written by someone else.
The actor and comedian Sefi Rivlin [1947-2013], recipient of the Israeli Television Academy Prize, and the Golden Mask Prize, participated in dozens of comedy shows, theater, cinema and television. One of the most well-known and admired Israeli actors.
A total of three full notebooks. Fine condition.
