Book Synopsis Stories by Meir Blinkin by : Meir Blinkin
Download or read book Stories by Meir Blinkin written by Meir Blinkin and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available for the first time to the English-speaking public, the captivating short stories of master storyteller Meir Blinkin are the charming prose equivalents of the film Hester Street. These delightful and touching stories also give an authentic account of the Jewish immigrant experience at the turn of the century. This collection is introduced by the renowned Yiddish scholar, Ruth R. Wisse, professor of Yiddish literature at McGill University, and co-author, with Irving Howe, of Tales of Sholem of Aleichem. Her introduction provides bibliographical information on Meir Blinkin and places his work in the context of the development of Yiddish literature. Born in the same small town as Sholem Aleichem, Meir Blinkin was driven by poverty and anti-semitism to America. He arrived in New York in 1904; at the age of 25--one of the 105,000 Jews to reach America that year. At his untimely death eleven years later, Blinkin was well known to his Jewish-American contemporaries as one of their finest prose writers, a leader of the yunge literary movement, and a frequent contributor to the major Yiddish periodicals. Meir Blinkin's stories tell us what life was like in the immigrant community, conveying a strong sense of the stresses and changes to be endured. These stories not illuminate the social conditions of the times but provide deft psychological analyses of troubled immigrants, with their conflicting claims of loyalty to the secular world and Jewish orthodoxy. Blinkin is also a master at the evocation of mood, of psychic tensions and the claustrophobia of tenement life. In the best traditions of mimetic realism, he captures the vividly demotic speech of his characters, with their Anglicisms and malapropisms. This unique collection of stories helps preserve the vibrant immigrant world. A tribal memory man, Meir Blinkin saves us from cultural amnesia.

Book Synopsis The Jews of Long Island by : Brad Kolodny
Download or read book The Jews of Long Island written by Brad Kolodny and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an engaging narrative, The Jews of Long Island tells the story of how Jewish communities were established and developed east of New York City, from Great Neck to Greenport and Cedarhurst to Sag Harbor. Including peddlers, farmers, and factory workers struggling to make a living, as well as successful merchants and even wealthy industrialists like the Guggenheims, Brad Kolodny spent six years researching how, when, and why Jewish families settled and thrived there. Archival material, including census records, newspaper accounts, never-before-published photos, and personal family histories illuminate Jewish life and experiences during these formative years. With over 4,400 names of people who lived in Nassau and Suffolk counties prior to the end of World War I, The Jews of Long Island is a fascinating history of those who laid the foundation for what has become the fourth largest Jewish community in the United States today.
Book Synopsis The Trilingual Literature of Polish Jews from Different Perspectives by : Alina Molisak
Download or read book The Trilingual Literature of Polish Jews from Different Perspectives written by Alina Molisak and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are the literary works of Polish Jews one unified literature in three languages: Yiddish, Hebrew and Polish, or is the literal corpus of each of these languages a separated literary and cultural phenomenon? Twenty-seven scholars from Europe, the United States, and Israel explore different aspects of the multilingual literature of Eastern European Jews, with a particular focus on the trilingual literature of Polish Jews until World War II. The work of the great Yiddish and Hebrew writer Isaac Leib Peretz (1852–1915) represents the center of the book, though it does not concentrate solely on Peretz’s work, but, rather, discusses the oeuvre of other unique authors in the cultural space of Jews in Central and Eastern Europe generally, and in Poland particularly. The book looks at this issue from three aspects, namely the literal, cultural, and historical, and also examines the dialogue of Polish Jewish literature with other languages and cultures.
