Selected Works of Mendele Moykher-Sforim by Mendele Mokher Sefarim PDF Summary

Book Description: Mendele Moykher-Soforim ( Mendele the Bookpeddler), is the name of a character created by Sholem Abramovitsch (c.1836-1917), which became the author's pen name. Born in the province of Minsk, White Russia, Mendele, as he was affectionately referred to by his readers, was dubbed by Sholem Aleykhem the "grandfather" (zeyde) of modern Yiddish literature. At first he wrote in Hebrew, but his strong desire to be "of use to is people" made him turn to Yiddish, the language of the Jewish masses of Eastern Europe. Although heavily influenced by the Haskole (Jewish Enlightenment), he transcended its didacticism to create a style and a modern literary language for both Yiddish and Hebrew sufficient to earn him the title: Founder of the modern literatures in both of these languages. The publication in 1864 of his first Yiddish novel, Dos Kleyne Mentshele (The little man), marks the beginning of the modern period in Yiddish literature. Here, for the first time, translated and collected in one volume, are several of the most celebrated works of Mendele. Two complete novels are presented, one of which, The Little Man, published in Yiddish in 1864, is considered the book that started the modern Yiddish literary renaissance. Also presented for the first time in its entirety in English translation is Mendele's Notes for My Biography, as well as selections from three of Mendele's greatest novels, a complete short story, a scholarly introduction including a biography, chronology, bibliography and glossary. -- Publisher description.
