Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. In Yiddish. 270 pages. 215 x 148 mm. The Yiddish poet Samuel Jacob Imber (Shmuel-Yankev) was born in Sasow in Austrian eastern Galicia (now Sasiv, Ukraine), son of the Hebrew writer Shmaryahu Imber and nephew of Naphtali-Herz Imber, the author of Ha-Tikvah, he studied phil…osophy at the University of Lemberg and made his literary debut in 1905 with a poem in the Tshernovitser Vokhnblat. In 1907 he published poems in Polish. In Lemberg, with Melekh Ravitch, he strove to promote the aesthetic ideals of neo-Romanticism, inspired by Jewish writers such as Arthur Schnitzler and Stefan Zweig. The influence of Heinrich Heine, whom he translated into Yiddish, is also conspicuous. With his verse collection Vos Ikh Zing un Zog ("What I Sing and Say," 1909) and with his poetic romance Esterke (1911), he became the acknowledged leader of a generation of Galician Yiddish writers. Esterke recounts the 14th-century legend concerning the love of King Casimir iii for the daughter of a Jewish blacksmith. The tone is one of Romantic nationalism, while despite Imber's noted enthusiasm for Polish-Jewish symbiosis, the illicit love is portrayed as inevitably doomed. In 1912 he visited Palestine, which resulted in a volume of delicate poetry somewhat reminiscent of Eliakum Zunser or Abraham Mapu, In Yidishn Land ("In the Jewish Land," 1912), in which Rachel rejoices at the sight of her returned children once more tilling the soil. During World War i Imber edited Inter Arma ("Amidst the Clash of Arms," 1918), a volume including not only his own war poetry but also that of his Lemberg associates Uri Zevi Greenberg, and Melekh Ravitch. Immediately after World War i he founded the literary monthly Nayland (1918-19) as the organ of the Galician neo-Romantic movement. Imber achieved full maturity in his last poems, in his essays in Yiddish and his polemic prose in Polish. He visited the United States in 1921. He received a Ph. D. in Cracow. He introduced Yiddish Poetry from Galicia into general modern Yiddish literature. He published poetry in Yiddish journals and many books: Vos Ikh Zing Un Vos Ikh Zog, ("What I Sing and What I Say"). Lemberg 1909. Esther 1911, In Yiddishn Land, ("In the Jewish Land"), 1912, Lider fun der Heym, ("Songs of Home"), 1918, Arayn un Aroys fun Vald, ("In and Out of the Forest"), 1920. There are two versions of his death in 1942. 1. He was murdered in his home town Ozernaya (Yezhernie) by Ukrainian antisemites during pogroms following the Nazi occupation of the town in 1942. 2. He was murdered Nazis in Zlotchev Galicia in 1942.
