Sapoznikow, Gregorio.
NERUDA Y SUTZKEVER: DOS POETAS REBELDES
Original Stiff Wrappers. 12mo. 158 pages. 20 cm. First edition. In Spanish. Neruda and Sutzkever: Two Rebel Poets written by Gregory Sapoznikow; translation of the original Yiddish by Itsjok Niborski. This work by the Argentinian Yiddish literary critic and psychoanalyst Gregory Sapoznikow constitutes a dual biography and literary interpretation of parallel experiences of both poets, Sutzkever and Neruda, namely, the strength and poetic development of two partisans in the fight against fascism. Includes translations of select poems by Abraham Sutzveker into Spanish. Although Abraham Sutzkever was born in Lithuania in 1913, he spent his early childhood in Siberia. During World War II he fought against the Germans with the partisans, helped save national cultural treasures and was evacuated from Vilna to Moscow in the middle of the war. Sutzkever immigrated to Israel in 1947, and has earned the title of that countrys foremost Yiddish poet. He founded the Yiddish literary quarterly, Di goldene keyt (The Golden Chain) in 1948. Never forgetting his country and the annihilation of his people in Europe, Sutzkevers writing continues to demonstrate the historical events of the past. He has received the highest literary prizes of both Lithuania and Israel. His poetry and fiction have been translated into many languages, including Hebrew, French, English, German, Russian, Polish and Japanese. Born in 1904 in Chile, Pablo Neruda began writing poetry at an early age and had his first poem published at the age of thirteen. Neruda is best known as a poet, but he served as a consul for the Chilean government and traveled on behalf of the government to Burma, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Singapore, Argentina and Spain. Nerudas close friend, García Lorca, was murdered during the Spanish Civil War and his death affected him greatly. In response to Lorcas murder, Neruda joined the Republican movement in Spain and later in France. In 1939, he was appointed consul for the Spanish emigration in France, and soon after sent to Mexico. There he rewrote his Canto General de Chile, an epic poem about South America. In 1945 he was elected a senator. He openly opposed the then repressive government of Chile and was forced to live underground in his own country for several years. He managed to leave in 1949, but returned in 1952. Throughout his lifetime Neruda continued to write. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971. He died in 1973. Subjects: Neruda, Pablo, 1904-1973 - Criticism and interpretation. Sutzkever, Abraham, 1913-2010 - Criticism and interpretation. Lightly shelf wear. Very good condition. (HOLO2-97-46xx)

WHY I AM A JEW.
Cloth, 12mo, 62 pages. Holocaust-era translation, with new forward by the translator, originally published in French in 1927. CONTENTS: Why I Am A Jew; Israel Lost; Israel Found Again; Israel Everlasting. Fleg (1874-1963) was a French poet, playwright, and librettist. Though he was not very committed to Judaism in his early life, the Dreyfus Affair and early Zionist Congresses returned him to the faith. After early popular literary successes, including the French scripts for Faust and Julius Ceasar, Fleg devoted his efforts to examining modern Judaism, and from the 1920s on, was a leader in French Jewish literature, writing biographies, poetry, and essays.
