Masterpieces of Hebrew Literature Selections from 2000 Years of Jewish Creativity By Curt Leviant PhD (editor)
The classic anthology of major works, from the Apocrypha to the 18th century Masterpieces of Hebrew Literature is a true masterpiece of its own--one of the few collections in which readers can find important works of Jewish tradition and culture by such authors as Rashi, Maimonides, Judah Halevi, and Joseph Caro, all in one place. Curt Leviant includes literature that spans many genres, from fiction and poetry to legal, ethical, and midrashic works; from responsa and Biblical commentary to histories and letters. His brief introductions place the works and their authors in historical perspective. Curt Leviant, PhD is the author of The Man Who Thought He Was Messiah and the editor of Masterpieces of Hebrew Literature. His speech topics include "The Stories of S.Y. Agnon," "The Stories of Nachman of Bratzlav," and "The Golem." He is an award-winning author and translator. $22.00 Paperback, 6" x 9", 600 pages ISBN: 9780827608818 Sales contact: 800-234-3151, www.jewishpub.org Anita Bihovsky Publicity Manager The Jewish Publication Society 2100 Arch Street, 2nd Floor Philadelphia, PA 19103 (215) 832-0601 (800) 234-3151, x 50601 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the new JPS website at www.jewishpub.org Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
