Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Socher is one of the sharpest observers of Jewish America in our times. These essays, tracing a journey from a yeshiva to Oberlin College and from Franz Kafka to Rabbi Kook, are a loving, cutting, whimsical, and wise look at a Jewish moment that he senses might be ending."--Matti Friedman,…author of Spies of No Country: Secret Lives at the Birth of Israel "A lively gathering of essays . . . Socher's mode of close reading demonstrates the interpretive power that resides in deep Jewish learning." --Jewish Book Council "A true reckoning of Jewish ideas and Western thought and culture--both classic and popular--and its discontents, especially as played out on the contemporary university campus." -- Tradition How did HumphreyBogart end up telling Lauren Bacall a Talmudic story in the film Key Largo ,and what does that have to do with Plato's theory of recollection--or AmericanJewish assimilation? Precisely what poem of Robert Frost's inspired Nabokov's PaleFire , and how did Walter Benjamin learn about the remarkable stones ofSinai? Abraham Socher wears his learning lightly. These witty and originalessays embody the spirit of the liberal arts, but the highlight of thiscollection may be his devastating account of the illiberal arts at work in OberlinCollege, where he taught for eighteen years.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The first complete and annotated English translation of Maimon's influential and delightfully entertaining memoirSolomon Maimon's autobiography has delighted readers for more than two hundred years, from Goethe, Schiller, and George Eliot to Walter Benjamin and Hannah Arendt. The American po…et and critic Adam Kirsch has named it one of the most crucial Jewish books of modern times. Here is the first complete and annotated English edition of this enduring and lively work.Born into a down-on-its-luck provincial Jewish family in 1753, Maimon quickly distinguished himself as a prodigy in learning. Even as a young child, he chafed at the constraints of his Talmudic education and rabbinical training. He recounts how he sought stimulation in the Hasidic community and among students of the Kabbalah-and offers rare and often wickedly funny accounts of both. After a series of picaresque misadventures, Maimon reached Berlin, where he became part of the city's famed Jewish Enlightenment and achieved the philosophical education he so desperately wanted, winning acclaim for being the "sharpest" of Kant's critics, as Kant himself described him.This new edition restores text cut from the abridged 1888 translation by J. Clark Murray, which has long been the only available English edition. Paul Reitter's translation is brilliantly sensitive to the subtleties of Maimon's prose while providing a fluid rendering that contemporary readers will enjoy, and is accompanied by an introduction and notes by Yitzhak Melamed and Abraham Socher that give invaluable insights into Maimon and his extraordinary life. The book also features an afterword by Gideon Freudenthal that provides an authoritative overview of Maimon's contribution to modern philosophy.
