Imprint: Berlin : Ahisefer., 1913. 8vo. Xvi, 264, xv, 234 pages. In Hebrew. Complete in two volumes. SUBJECT (S) : Legends, Jewish. SERISES: Kovets 1. Mi-ne kedem -- kovets 2. Agadot `am. Berdichevsky (1865-1921) , also know as Ben-Gorion, was born in Podalia, to a long line of rabbis. In his teens, he read the Haskalah writers, and this conflict between modernism and tradition informed his entire literary career. It also caused deep disagreements with teachers and family members. He began to be published in 1888, writing both fiction and non-fiction. In 1890, he moved to Russia, and was acquainted with David Frischmann; in 1892 he moved to Germany. In Berlin, he solidified a philosophy of personal and intellectual freedom in the face of "stultifying" tradition. His writing attacked any already-established position, including the Haskalah and Zionism, and demanded an expansion of the Jewish literary canon. Though a later trip back to Russia, and witnessing the realities of Jewish life there, slightly moderated his polemics, Berdichevsky wrote much of the same, though he also branched out to collections of legends and Jewish history. It is of no surprise that his readers were divided along generational lines; the younger readers flocked to his work, while older critics rejected his ideas. (Almagor, EJ) Gilt titles.

Imprint: Moskve [Moscow]: Farlag "Emes", 1932 1st edition. Original Cloth Boards, 8vo, 574 pages [this volume], 20 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as, "By the Dnieper." Cover title for this volume [Vol I.] is “Bam Dnyeper (Penek)”. By the time David Bergelson arrived in Berlin in 1921, he was highly regarded as a Yiddish modernist innovator. In Berlin, Bergelson was the coeditor of a short-lived Yiddish and Hebrew modern art journal: in Yiddish, Milgroym (The Pomegranate). He wrote for the New York Yiddish newspaper Forverts (The Forward) and authored dozens of short works, some set in Berlin and others set in the shtetlekh of Ukraine….In 1926, Bergelson publicly shifted his allegiance toward the Soviet Union. To signal this new commitment, he cut ties with Forverts and became a regular staff writer for Morgen-frayhayt, a communist daily; he also visited Moscow, wrote a penitential letter to the Moscow Yiddish newspaper Der emes (The Truth), and penned his critical essay 'Dray tsentrn'('Three Centers'). In 'Three Centers,' Bergelson designated Moscow — not Warsaw or New York — as the wellspring of Yiddish literature.” By this time he “had earned him a reputation as one of Yiddish literature’s most important authors” (Sasha Senderovich and Harriet Murav in In Geveb, 2015).“ SUBJECT(S): Yiddish literature.

Porftolio contains a 20 page booklet, printed in red and black ink, and contains 59 illustrated leaves. “Bergner's style moves freely between extremes, from compact compositions and minimal coloration to richness and dramatic style. He always maintained a rare combination between figurative description and surrealistic atmosphere. At the heart of his approach lies the understanding that the visual image is a more or less aesthetic representation of the meaning beyond it. More then once Bergner has been defined as a literary painter, in his case meaning a painter who is as comfortable with world literature as he is familiar with Jewish literature. As the son of a Yiddish poet, the stories of Mendele Mokher Seforim (Sholem Yankev Abramovitsh ) , Shalom Aleichem, and I. L. Peretz were a part of his life. At the same time Bergner's art has been an inspiration to many Israeli poets like Dan Pagis, Tuvia Rivner, and Hayim Hefer. They were drawn to the characteristic images of Bergner's art, referring to them as an integral part of their poems. ” (EJ 2008) Subjects: Peretz, Isaac Leib, 1851 or 2-1915 - Illustrations.
