Jiddisch lesen

1700 years of Jewish life in Germany - Yiddish literature, language, and culture comprise an important part of this story. The four-volume set from the series Jiddistik Edition und Forschung examines these topics from a range of perspectives. The set includes the scholarly edited volume Leket, which examines all of the disciplines of Yiddish studies (vol. 1), a critically annotated translation of the poems of Avrom Sutzkever, Still My Word Sings (vol. 2), the complete narrative collection Eisenbahngeschichten by Scholem Alejchem, available for the first time in a bilingual edition (vol. 3), and the new release Über die Grenze, an anthology of modern Yiddish short stories, appearing in standardized orthography for the first time (vol. 4). These volumes convey interpretations of Yiddish literature and provide insights into Yiddish realms of experience.
