{"product_id":"a-world-apart-joseph-margoshes-9781934843635","title":"A World Apart: A Memoir of Jewish Life in Nineteenth Century Galicia","description":"In 1936, Joseph Margoshes (1866-1955), a writer for the New York Yiddish daily Morgen Journal, published a memoir of his youth in Austro-Hungarian Galicia entitled Erinerungen fun mayn leben. In this autobiography, he evoked a world that had been changed almost beyond recognition as a result of the First World War and was shortly to be completely obliterated by the Holocaust. In telling his story, Margoshes gives the reader important insights into the many-faceted Jewish life of Austro-Hungarian Galicia.We read of the Orthodox and the Enlightened, urban and rural life, Jews and their gentile neighbors, and much more. This book is an important evocation of an entire Jewish society and civilization and bears comparison with Yehiel Yeshaia Trunk's masterful evocation of Jewish life in Poland, Poyln.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Margoshes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1934843636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934843635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Studies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.43d","brand":"Joseph Margoshes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978831233279,"sku":"9781934843635","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4313bf8-ce9d-44be-8a7c-ed30600da16c.jpg?v=1683243197","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-world-apart-joseph-margoshes-9781934843635","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
