Agnon's mock epic novel, is an elaborate frame story encompassing dozens of Hassidic tales. Set in early nineteenth-century Galicia, the plot is part quest, part comedy of errors, progressively departing from its opening tone of realism. The narrative is decisively double-edged: naïve, in the manner of classic folk tales, as well as sophisticated and artful, as a modern work. The Bridal Canopy parodies the Hassidic folk tale, but does so very delicately; it censures without acrimony, always maintaining an air of reverence for the Old World. Unlike other depictions of Eastern European Jewry's shtetl life, the story is sufficiently subtle to… Read More

A Collection of the folkore and legends of the Jews of Yemen, is southwestern Arabia, the oldest Jewish commnit in the world.
The Jewish community in Yemen, so we are told, is the oldest in existence.

There are some valuable tips here, but the book is really more of an exercise book. In order to get the most out of it, it isn't really something to read as much as something to work your way into. There are a lot of good storytelling books out there, but this is really more of an exercise book. Good for that purpose; less good as a straight read-through. I didn't do all the exercises, but I did a number of them, and they worked out well. So, if you get this book, the best way to appreciate it is to take your time and work through it rather than read it like a regular business book.

We still feel horror at the cruelties the Jews have suffered in our own times, and if we are conscientious must feel our own share of the guilt for historic anti-Semitism; we are by tradition committed sympathy for the underdog, especially when he fights against great odds, as have the Israelis nor are such sympathies diminished by admiration for the success with which the… Read More

In scale, the tragedy of Leningrad dwarfs even the Warsaw ghetto or Hiroshima. Nearly three million people endured it; just under half of them died, starving or freezing to death, most in the six months from October 1941 to April 1942 when the temperature often stayed at 30 degrees below zero. For twenty-five years the distinguished journalist and historian Harrison Salisbury has assembled material for this story. He has interviewed survivors, sifted through the Russian archives, and drawn on his vast experience as a correspondent in the Soviet Union.
