Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 187, [3] pages. 19 x 13.5 cm. With three facsimile pages at end. This single volume is apparently part of a set that included all of I.L.Peretz's works. Jizchok Leib Perez (1852-1915) was the greatest men of letters who wrote in Yiddish. He was a novelist, poet, and playwright. Isaac Leib Peretz (Polish: Icchok Lejbusz Perec, (May 18, 1852 - 3 April 1915), also sometimes written Yitskhok Leybush Peretz, best known as I. L. Peretz, was a Yiddish language author and playwright from Poland. With Mendele Mokher Seforim and Sholem Aleichem he was one of the three great classical Yiddish writers. He was ?the great awakener of Yiddish-speaking Jewry. . . aroused in his readers the will for self-emancipation, the will for resistance. . ." Peretz rejected cultural universalism, seeing the world as composed of different nations, each with its own character. He saw his role as a Jewish writer to express "Jewish ideals. . . grounded in Jewish tradition and Jewish history." Unlike many other Maskilim, he greatly respected the Hasidic Jews for their mode of being in the world; at the same time, he understood that there was a need to make allowances for human frailty. His short stories emphasize the importance of sincere piety rather than empty religiosity. Born in the city of Zamo??, Lublin Governorate, Congress Poland, and raised in an Orthodox Jewish home he gave his allegiance at age fifteen to the Haskalah, the Jewish enlightenment. He began a deliberate plan of secular learning, reading books in Polish, Russian, German, and French. He planned to go to the theologically liberal Rabbinical school at Zhytomyr, but concern for his mother's feelings got him to stay on in Zamosc. He failed in an attempt to make a living distilling whiskey, but began to write Hebrew language poetry, songs, and tales, some of them written with his father-in-law. He passed the examination to become a lawyer, a profession which he successfully pursued for the next decade, until in 1889 his license was revoked by the Imperial Russian authorities due to of suspicion of his harboring Polish nationalist feelings. From then on he lived in Warsaw, where his income came largely from a job in the small bureaucracy of the city's Jewish community. There he founded Hazomir (The Nightingale), which became the cultural centre of pre-World War I Yiddish Warsaw. A writer of social criticism, sympathetic to the labor movement, he wrote stories, folk tales and plays. He was both a realist and a romanticist. While most Jewish intellectuals were unrestrained in their support of the Russian Revolution of 1905, Peretz's view was more reserved, focusing more on the pogroms that took place within the Revolution, and concerned that the Revolution's universalist ideals would leave little space for Jewish non-conformism.

Peretz (1852-1915) was a Polish-Jewish writer and poet who is considered one of the most important figures in modern Yiddish literature. He was born in Zamosc, Poland, and studied law at the University of Warsaw. However, he abandoned his legal studies to pursue a career in writing. Peretz's work was deeply influenced by his Jewish heritage and his experiences of Polish anti-Semitism. He wrote about a wide range of topics, including Jewish folklore, mysticism, and social justice. His stories and poems often explored the challenges of modern Jewish life and the search for a meaningful existence. Peretz was a leading figure in the Yiddish literary revival of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was a co-founder of the Warsaw Literarishe Bleter (Literary Pages), a journal that promoted Yiddish culture and literature. He also helped to establish the Folksbiene, a Yiddish theater company. This book contains a selection of Peretz's best-known stories and poems, including "Perhaps Even Higher," "Silent Bontsia" and "The Three Gifts.".
