Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A collection of nineteenth-century folklore-infused tales of Jewish life in Prague. Trained in philosophy and medicine, the writer, translator, scholar, and political and cultural activist Siegfried Kapper (18211879) devoted significant effort to the advancement of Jewish culture in Bohemia, Jewish emancipation, and to the commitment of Jews to contemporary Czech society. The three stories in this collection, which first appeared in the press in the 1840s and were posthumously published as a collection at the end of the century, offer a Romantic and folkloric vision of Jewish culture in Prague. The first story, Genenda, displays Kappers operatic eye for detail and drama with its account of a dutiful rabbis daughter being swept away by a dashing young man, a Christian nobleman disguised as a Jew. The Curious Guest is an intricate tale of a quest for wisdom and power. The final story, Glowing Coals, is a supernatural tale of romantic desire and revenge, displaying Kappers skill at deploying the tropes of folklore for dramatic literary effect. The collection not only provides a colorful snapshot of nineteenth-century Czech-Jewish culture but also resonates with universal human themes that transcend a single national experience. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
