"A disciple of the "psychology" approach to literature and a writer of the "uprooted" generation, Brenner [1881-1921] became a key figure of the school in modern Hebrew literature; he focused and ruthlessly exposed the anxieties, self-probing, and despair of intellectual anti-heroes overwhelmed by life in a society that had lost meaning and direction. His fiction, bleak and fiercely honest, nourishes, however, a belief in artistic truth where faith in all else has failed. A contemporary and friend of G. Schoffmann and U. N. Gnessin, Brenner, like them, was also influenced by M. J. Berdyczewski. In style, he considered himself a follower of Berdyczewski, and in social outlook, a disciple of Mendele Mokher Seforim. Like many Hebrew writers of the early decades of the 20th century, he was mainly influenced by Russian literature, specifically by writers such as Tolstoy and Dostoevski (he frequently mentions the latter in his letters) , and by such European writers as Nietzsche and Hauptmann. Brenner, a novelist, critic, philosopher, translator, editor, and publisher, wrote in Hebrew and in Yiddish. He exercised a powerful personal influence, often exceeding his impact as a writer and a critic, on his generation, and on the following one. His colleagues and friends saw in him "a secular saint caught in a world that was not worthy of him" (H. Zeitlin) , and he became their moral, social, and artistic yardstick. Brenner's approach to literature demanded a close link between the creative process, the artistic work, and real life.

Devoted to the revival of the Hebrew language and culture, he coined the term "New Hebrew, " referring to a desired, beautiful, post-Diaspora culture. For him the Jewish Diaspora was everything hated and ugly. "Cahan's poetry revolves around two axes - messianism and the fusion of three major principles: beauty, holiness, and happiness. The messianic motif runs through most of his lyrical epics, verse dramas, and dramatized legends. It goes hand in hand with his identification of the Judaic-prophetic sanctity of life and the yearning for enlightened beauty and universal humanism, or with the identification of morality and the quest for happiness.

1927(FT) 4to. Xii, 149 pages. In Hebrew. Volume one (of three) only. SUBJECT(S) : Hebrew literature, modern - history and criticism. Lachower (1883-1947) was a Hebrew literature critic and historian. "[His] approach to literature is both critical and scholarly. He studies the literary method and conceptual framework of the author, quoting copiously from the work under discussion. But he also probes the author's motives, stressing the different and often contradictory trends in his work and personality. Lachower's own writing, at times, alternates between an objective, matter-of-fact, somewhat dry style and impressionistic musings couched in metaphorical, often ornate, language. During the early period he discusses contemporary authors of the modern national renaissance, e. G. , S. Tchernichowsky, H. N. Bialik, Z. Shneur, U. N. Gnessin, and others. His detailed discussion of D. Frischmann and M. J. Berdyczewski shows a certain affinity in outlook between him and these two authors. He shunned the social-national approach to literature then current among his contemporaries. Instead of interpreting a work in the light of social conditions, he attempted to expound its intrinsic meaning. Besides the aesthetic aspects of literature, he was deeply interested in its philosophical and conceptual presuppositions. " (EJ, 2007) Covers edgeworn, pages a little tanned, good condition.

As a young man, he worked for the newspaper Ha-Am during the Russian Revolution, and escapes pogroms of 1920 by fleeing to the Crimean Mountains before moving to the recently-dismembered Ottoman lands and then to Western Europe. In 1931, he moved to Jerusalem. Hazaz had first been published in 1918, while still in Russia; his early stories were well received. In both his early writing and that done later in Germany and Israel, he conveys the anxiety felt by Jews during the early 20th century, between the Diaspora and the establishment of the state of Israel. For his contributions to Hebrew literature, Hazaz was awarded the Israel Prize twice, first in 1953 and again in 1971. After his death, the Hebrew Literary Center's building in Jerusalem was named after him. (EJ, 2007) Shalom Spiegel's copy with his bookplate. Has dust jacket. Very good condition. (HebLit-4-25)

1941(FT) 8vo. 176 pages. In Hebrew. SUBJECT(S) : Fiction, Hebrew. "[A] Hebrew novelist and short-story writer[, ] Blank, who was born in the Ukraine, spent his formative years in Bessarabia and in 1922 settled in the United States. His early stories described the Jewish farmers of Bessarabia, and his tetralogy Zon, Adamah, Nahalah, and Moshavah focused upon a simple protagonist, significantly and symbolically called "Bo'az. " Blank was not a subtle psychologist, but he vividly depicted the Jewish man of the soil in his primitive surroundings. When he attempted to portray the harsher realities of life after World War I, such as the pogroms in the Ukraine in his Bi-She'at Herum or the maladjusted immigrant in America, as in Mr. Kunis or Iy ha-Dema'ot, he verged on melodrama. Al Admat Amerikah and Ez ha-Sadeh were among his last works. " (EJ, 2007) Ex library with minimal markings, light worn spots on cover edges, good condition. (HebLit-6-2)
