内容简介
Haim Nachman Bialik (1873 - 1934) is celebrated as one of the leading figures in modern Jewish literature. Although most famous for his Hebrew poems, Bialik was also a master of short prose. Often expressing a realism and social awareness associated with the Russia of his youth, Bialik's stories showcase his gift for lyricism, symbolism and humor, captured in engaging vignettes of life in the Ukrainian countryside. Random Harvest and Other Novellas takes into account the large and important corpus of Bialik criticism that has been published over the years. The novellas in this collection include Random Harvest, Behind the Fence, The Shamed Trumpet, Big Harry, The Short Friday, and The Legend of Three and Four. David Patterson is President Emeritus of the Oxford Centre for Jewish and Hebrew Studies. Ezra Spicehandler is Professor Emeritus at Hebrew Union College.
