Ayit Tzavua (Hebrew: עיט צבוע), literally The Painted Eagle, or The Hypocrite is an 1858 Hebrew novel by Abraham Mapu. The novel is partly set in the salon of a Lithuanian magnate, in which enlightened Poles and Jews meet and discuss Voltaire, philosophy and the Jews.[1] It is one of the first modern novels in Hebrew, following the same author's Ahavat Zion (1853).
