Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In his short life (1865-1921), Micha Josef Berdichevsky was a versatile and influential man of letters: an innovative Hebrew prose stylist; a collector of Jewish folklore; a scholar of ancient Jewish and Christian history. He was at once a peer of the Brothers Grimm, Sholem Aleichem, Friedrich Nietzsche, and a diverse circle of Jewish writers in the Russian Empire and German-speaking countries. As a Yiddish writer, however, he remains largely unknown to general readers. Originally published in the 1920s, his stories were dismissed by prominent critics and viewed as out of step with the literary taste of his own time. Yet these vivid portraits of a small Jewish town (shtetl) in the southern Russian Empire can speak powerfully to audiences today.With enchanting humor, social satire, and verbal dexterity, From a Distant Relation captures the world of the shtetl in a sharp realist prose style. Themes of repressed desire, poverty, relations with non-Jews, and historic upheavals echo in a cast of memorable characters. Many of the stories and monologues feature strong female protagonists, while others shed light on the misogynistic culture of the shtetl. At the border between fiction and reportage, with a gritty underbelly and a deceptive naivete, Berdichevsky's stories explore dynamics of wealth, power, and gender in an intimate setting that resonates profoundly with contemporary Jewish life. With enchanting humor, social satire, and verbal dexterity, From a Distant Relation captures the world of the shtetl in a sharp realist prose style. Themes of repressed desire, poverty, relations with non-Jews, and historic upheavals echo in a cast of memorable characters.

Judaic Traditions in Literature, Music, and Art. Edited and Translated by James Adam Redfield. 389 pages. paperback. keywords: Europe Russia Germany Literature Yiddish Translated Hebrew World Literature. DESCRIPTION - In his short life (1865-1921), Mikhah Josef Berdichevsky was a versatile and influential man of letters: an innovative Hebrew prose stylist; a collector of Jewish folklore; a scholar of Jewish literature and the New Testament. He was at once a peer of the Brothers Grimm, Sholem Aleichem, Friedrich Nietzsche, and others. As a Yiddish writer, however, he remains largely unknown to general readers. Originally published in the 1920s, his stories were dismissed by critics and viewed as out of step with the literary taste of his own time, but these satirical, sometimes fantastical portraits of the shtetl will speak to a contemporary audience. While humor and verbal dexterity enchant the reader and, to an extent, color the world of the Jewish small town, in From a Distant Relation we glimpse that world in a sharp realist prose style. Themes of repressed desire, poverty, relations with non-Jews, and historic upheavals echo in the cast of memorable characters. Many of the stories feature strong female protagonists, while others shed light on the misogynistic culture of the shtetl. At the border of ethnography and literature, with a gritty underbelly and a deceptive naïvetE, Berdichevsky's stories explore the dynamics of gender and power in an intimate setting that resonates profoundly with contemporary Jewish life. inventory #46382. …

Paperback. Zustand: New. Wide-ranging and astutely argued, Talmud and Philosophy examines the intersections, partitions, and mutual illuminations and problematizations of Western philosophy and the Talmud. Among many philosophers, the Talmud has been at best an idealized and remote object and, at worst, if noticed at all, an object of curiosity. The contributors to this volume collectively ignite and probe a new mode of inquiry by approaching the very question of partitions, conjunctions, and disjunctions between the Talmud and philosophy as the guiding question of their inquiry. Rather than using the Talmud and its modes of argumentation to develop existing philosophical themes, these essays probe the question of how the Talmud as an intellectual discipline sheds new light on the unfolding of philosophy in the history of thought.…
