Bücher von Joachim Neugroschel

This unique and rich anthology of Yiddish stories ranges from the beginning of Yiddish literature through I.B. Singer.

The Golem of Jewish folklore, a creature made of clay and brought to life by Rabbi Leyb of Prague in the 16th century, is the subject of this collection of fictional writings in which Neugroschel brings together some of the best work featuring the Golem, including a new translation of H. Leivick's masterful blank verse play.

"The Dybbuk" is arguably the most famous play in the Yiddish repertoire and plays an intrinsic part in the cultural system that created the Yiddish imagination. Along with this new translation, this text offers a variety of literary works spanning the 17th to the 20th centuries.
