Glenda Abramson
Hebrew Writing of the First World War
London, England, Vallentine Mitchell & Co., Ltd, 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Scarce in the trade in this condition and state (hardcover, stated First Edition). Fine-looking, structurally sound hardcover, little discernible wear, bright interior, unmarked. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn. From the publisher's blurb, "Almost one and a quarter million Jewish soldiers took part in the First World War, spread through the armies on both sides of the conflict. Their numbers were more or less in proportion to the Jewish populations in the countries involved, and sometimes even greater. There is comparatively little writing about this experience in Hebrew. Those who did write novels, poetry, stories, memoirs and diaries in Hebrew were either serving soldiers on the Eastern Front and in Palestine, or civilians who were caught up in the war in one way or another. Their work reflected not only the tribulations of the trenches, but also the hardship suffered by civilians. Most of the Hebrew writers in Europe, including Saul Tchernichowsky, U.Z. Greenberg and Yehuda Ya'ari, confront the Russian pogroms in their work. Starvation, illness and banishment were the lot of the Jews in Jerusalem and the Lower Galilee, and the appalling situation of the Jewish refugees was represented by memoirists, journalists and fiction writers such as Aharon Reuveni, L.A. Orloff and Y.H. Brenner, all caught up in the trials of the wartime yishuv. Woven into their views of the war is a portrait of the major transition taking place in Jewish political culture at the time, and their growing identification with Zionism. Interesting aspects emerge from these texts: Jewish nationalism became a crucial theme in view of what the Jews considered to be the permanent setting of Europe's sun. The texts raise the question of genre: fiction in relation to autobiography. Also the trauma of the war led to an abandonment of the prevailing literary styles and structures, and the Hebrew writers adopted some of the new modernist trends, Expressionism in particular." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xxxviii [2], 4-405 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .

Habima": The Moscow Theatre "Habima
Chicago, L. M. Stein Publisher, 1942. Second Enlarged Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Illustrated with a number of b/w facsimile photographs of important figures and historical casts from certain plays performed by the Habimah ("The Stage") which was originally founded in Moscow in 1917 under the Moscow Art Theatre. Habimah was the first professional group to ever perform their plays in Hebrew. Reviews have it that this is a fascinating social history of a Jewish theatre group in transit to and from the former Soviet Union and the U.S. The author, R. Ben-Ari, was a well-known actor and one of the original founders of Habimah in Moscow, before that world-famous ensemble left the Soviet Union, ultimately to become the National Theater of Israel. He died in Moscow at the age of 68, visiting a brother there before dying of a heart attack. He was especially known for his role in oeThe Dybbyk,” the play for which Habimah was widely hailed.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Good
