At once an exuberant celebration of Yiddish language and a searing indictment of capitalist excess, Kulbak's long poem follows the journey of its protagonist from small town Eastern Europe to the metropolis of Weimar Berlin. We watch as his literary aspirations and intellectual illusions are dashed on the rocks of a culture corroding from within. Drawing on his own beleaguered experiences in Berlin in the early 1920s, not only does Kulbak offer us a fresh perspective on urban life in interwar Berlin but he also does so in one of the truly great pyrotechnic displays in Yiddish poetry. Robert Adler Peckerar's stunning translation has managed the great feat of conveying simultaneously Kulbak's verbal brilliance and his searing critique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moyshe Kulbak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1734193603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781734193602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Naydus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 4.90w x 0.30d","brand":"Moyshe Kulbak","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44790008971519,"sku":"9781734193602","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f3f95e2-2809-4c86-b526-00d9932df259.jpg?v=1707287708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/childe-harold-of-dysna-moyshe-kulbak-9781734193602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
