magazine in August 1950. His collections of poetry included ''Burden of Dumah''. His novels included ''One Man's Condition'' and ''Death of Avimelech''. He also wrote an autobiographical account of his early life (up to age 27), ''Life as a Parable''. ''Life as a Parable'' became his most celebrated work. According to one literary critic, it "expressed a 'yearning for religiosity' in a country that sanctified secularism."
Sade also wrote comic books, which he signed with a pseudonym. He was the author of most of the comics published in ''Haaretz Shelanu,'' a children's magazine, using the name "Yariv Amazya." Many of his comics were science-fiction based.
