PAPERBACK, cover price $9.95, very good but right margin of one page wrinkly looks like moist finger damage, top right corner lightly bumped. BERGELSON, DOVID. Descent. Translated and introduced by Joseph Sherman. New York: Modern Language Association of America, 1999, li, 240pp., . Texts and translations. Translations 7. - "Descent, published in 1920, describes the complex Jewish life of Russia and Ukraine through the turbulent period leading up to the October Revolution of 1917: the emptiness of bourgeois values, the rise of secularism, the rejection of old traditions, the alienation of intellectuals, and the attempt of different generations to find a place for themselves inside and out of the shtetl. The novella centers on the mystery of the suicide of a young pharmacist in Rakitne, a provincial town. Did his death have anything to do with the two women who loved him? Was it the result of despair or an act of protest? And if protest, against what? His old friend seeks answers but finds none. The prose is immaculately crafted, the narrative indirect, the mood poignant, dark, and disquieting.". 9780873527880 ISBN 0873527887.…

Bergelsons storiespassionate, honest, dark and often hilarioushint at the possibility of redemption even as they suggest a horror just around the corner."David Bergelsons Berlin stories reveal a moment of incredible possibility in Jewish culturea time when some of the greatest Yiddish writers of the day saw the German capital as a beacon for progressive, modernist creative artists. In the course of one brief sentence, Bergelson masterfully descends from the teeming Berliner streets into the depths of his characters souls. His prose sparkles with stylistic virtuosity, savage humor, and creates a seamless fusion of Western and Eastern European modernisms." Robert Adler Peckerar, Director of Education, National Yiddish Book Center"Despair peoples Bergelson's Berlin. His stories describe a metropolis in the aftermath of World War I. These are stories of Jewish refugees lurking in shadows, who seek healing and redemption from the awful massacres of the Jewish communities of the Ukraine. Isolated, alienated, prey to sexual predators, and victimized by scams, these refugees plot revenge against the pogromists with whom they jostle elbows in seedy rooming houses and packed trolleys. Bergelson's characters are figures who have lost their centers, ghosts inhabiting boarding houses, seeking but failing to find meaning in their lives amid petty encounters they imagine as world-shaking events. Against the grey world of his realistic description, the narrators of his stories suggest through their wit other human possibilities closed off to his characters." Murray Baumgarten, Director of Jewish Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz"Bergelson's genius has been a well-kept secret for far too long. But now the secret is out. These stories are dazzling and devastating, their power slowly overtaking you as you become aware, in page after page of carefully crafted and shockingly honest prose, of the astounding presence of irrational evil. Expect to be stunned." Dara Horn, author of In the ImageDovid Bergelson (1884-1952) is considered to be one of the best Soviet Yiddish writers of the twentieth century.

Paperback. Condición: New. Never before available in English, Judgment is a work of startling power by David Bergelson, the most celebrated Yiddish prose writer of his era.   Set in 1920 during the Russian Civil War, Judgment (titled Mides-hadin in Yiddish) traces the death of the shtetl and the birth of the "new, harsher world" created by the 1917 Russian Revolution. As Bolshevik power expanded toward the border between Poland and Ukraine, Jews and non-Jews smuggled people, goods, and anti-Bolshevik literature back and forth. In the novel's fictional town of Golikhovke, the Bolsheviks have established their local outpost in a former monastery, where the non-Jewish Filipov acts as the arbiter of "judgment" and metes out punishments and executions to the prisoners held there: Yuzi Spivak, arrested for anti-Bolshevik activities; Aaron Lemberger, a pious and wealthy Jew; a seductive woman referred to as "the blonde" who believes she can appease Filipov with sex; and a memorable cast of toughs, smugglers, and criminals.   Ordinary people, depicted in a grotesque, aphoristic style-comparable to Isaac Babel's Red Cavalry-confront the overwhelming, mysterious forces of history, whose ultimate outcome remains unknown. Murav and Senderovich's new translation expertly captures Bergelson's inimitable modernist style.…
