Paperback. Condition: New. This remarkable volume introduces to the large English-speaking audience what is probably the most coherent segment of twentieth-century American literature not written in English. The range of American Yiddish Poetry runs the gamut from individualistic verse of alienation in the modern metropolis, responses to Western culture and ideologies, and experiments with poetic form and the resources of the Yiddish language, to the vitriolic associative chains of a politically engaged anarchist existentialist; from hymns to urban architecture and landscapes and the plight of African Americans to confrontations with the experiences of Jewish history and the loss of the Yiddish language. The bilingual facing-page format, the notes and the biographies of poets, the selections from Yiddish theory and criticism, and a comprehensive introduction to the cultural background and concerns of the poetry enhance the poems themselves.…

Hardback. Condition: As new. Dust Jacket Condition: As new. First edition in English. First edition in English. Royal 8vo. Pp. xxxii, 652. Moss-green buckram, stamped in gilt to spine; deckled fore-edges. Jacket design by Tracy Baldwin, featuring detail of Reuven Rubin's oil on canvas, Pinwheel Vendor (1923-25), Rubin Museum, Tel Aviv. Pine-green endpapers. Translator's Note. Glossary. Introduction by Benjamin Harshav. Translated from the Hebrew by Barbara Harshav. Originally published in 1945, Agnon's masterpiece is set during the Second Aliya (1904-14), when several hundred Jewish idealists fleeing the Russian Empire pogroms, settled in Palestine in an attempt to revive Hebrew culture. Recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his profoundly characteristic narrative art with motifs from the life of the Jewish people," an honour he shared in 1966 with the poet, Nelly Sachs. On accepting the award, Agnon, born into the Austro-Hungarian Empire, claimed he always regarded himself as Jerusalem-born, where, after many peregrinations, he eventually settled. His growing fame was such, that when he raised a complaint with the mayor's office about traffic noise levels outside his study, the city closed the street to cars and posted a sign reading: "No entry to all vehicles, writer at work!" "For this miracle of a translation, which brings Agnon's original Hebrew vividly to life, we can only be grateful." -Washington Post.…
