1918Publishers cloth. 12mo. Pages. 19 cm. First Yiddish edition. Jean Christophe, translated from the French by K Fornberg. Book 1, Der beginen 2, Der frih-morgen - 3 Yugend 4, Der oyfshtand 5, Di bafrayung. Rollands most renowned work, by far, was Jean-Christophe, completed in 1912. The 10-volume novel is the original roman fleuve, a work that chronicles a sprawling history that gives an overall, often-critical view of society during its time. In 1915 the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Romain Rolland as a tribute to the lofty idealism of his literary production and to the sympathy and love of truth with which he has described different types of human beings. Partly because of his outspoken defense of human rights, especially the rights of minorities, Rolland had a mass following among European Jews. In fact, the Yiddish translation of Jean-Christophe . Was among the most popular Yiddish books ever-published and was the best-selling modern translation into Yiddish. (Yiddishkayt.org; Romain Rolland) Subjects: Yiddish literature - Translations from French. French literature - Translations into Yiddish. OCLC lists 17 copies worldwide. First volume in fine condition, remaining volumes with lightly soiled and aged cloth, volume four cloth quite soiled; all volumes internally very fresh and clean. Very good condition. (YID-16-16)

Translated by N. Perlman, who also translated Jack London, Anatole France, Schopenhauer, and Thomas Paine into Yiddish. Subjects: Philosophy and religion. Free thought. Spinoza, Benedictus de, 1632-1677 - Translations into Yiddish. OCLC Number: 150623442.Spine darkened, touch of wear to foot and crown of spine. Very Good condition. (YID-16-15-E) Xxxx

1990Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. 1 corner bumped. ; Professor Winnington-Ingram's reputation as an authority on Greek drama is based on a lifetime's careful scholarship. In 1980 the Press published Professor Winnington-Ingram's book on Sophocles and in 1983 he followed it up with some studies on Aeschylus. This book explores the problems in Aeschylus' earlier plays: Persae, Septem contra Thebas and the Daniad trilogy. There is also an emphasis on different aspects of the Oresteia and finally, an examination of the peculiar problems in Prometheus Bound. A view of Aeschylean tragedy emerges - and of the poet's contribution to the development of Greek religious thought. Students of Greek drama will welcome this collection. Greek in the body of the text is translated, so that the book will be accessible to those studying Greek literature in translation and the literature and drama of other cultures. ; Beiträge Zur Altertumskunde.
