Židovský bestiář amerického malíře, ilustrátora a spisovatele Marka Podwala navazuje na dlouhou tradici, která začíná již vyprávěním o prvních zvířatech v Bibli. Autor čerpá z židovských pramenů, z Tanachu, Talmudu a z midrašů, a také z legend a lidových vyprávění. Své kresby podivuhodných tvorů - zahrnující ptáky, ryby, dobytek, plazy i šelmy, zvířata skutečná i bájná - doprovodil texty o jejich podobě a úloze, jak je zachycuje židovská tradice a opatřil úvodem o osobitém žánru bestiáře.
