[ha-Safran] Can you help?

2023-01-02 Thread Smadar Wisper via Hasafran
Dear Safranim ve Safraniot,
I was asked by one of our professors:
Is there any way to find out how many books of poetry were published by
African American/Black poets (slave, free born, or freed) in the eighteenth
century? How many in the 19th?

Thank you!

[ha-Safran] Can you help?

2021-10-26 Thread Smadar Wisper via Hasafran
  Shalom Safranim ve Safraniot,



One of our readers in the library is in search of a modern novel that was
originally written in English and subsequently translated to Hebrew. The
novel should focus on a maternal figure in a patriarchal society or,
alternatively, matriarchs in a female lineage.

The Hebrew novels *Four Mothers* and *Tamara Walks on Water* by Shifra
Horen would be two such examples, but for the language origin.



Another option could be a novel that touches on physical and emotional
maternal deprivation or alienation, also written originally in English and
translated into Hebrew.


Any suggestions???


Thank you in advance,

Smadar Wisper

[ha-Safran] תרגום לעברית של 3 שירים

2021-08-19 Thread Smadar Wisper via Hasafran
שלום לספרנים ולספרניות,

אחד המרצים באוניברסיטה מנסה לאתר תרגום לעברית של התחלות של  3 שירים לצורך
מחקר, . האם מישהו מכיר תרגום לעברית של התחלות השירים הרצ"ב???


1.  אמילי דיקינסון,

The Loneliness One dare not sound—
And would as soon surmise
As in its Grave go plumbing
To ascertain the size—

The Loneliness whose worst alarm
Is lest itself should see—
And perish from before itself
For just a scrutiny—…”

 2. וורדוורת'

I wandered *lonely* as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze…





3. ג'ון קיטס

*O* *solitude*! if I must with thee dwell,
Let it not be among the jumbled heap
Of murky buildings; climb with me the steep,-
Nature’s observatory - whence the dell,
Its flowery slopes, its river’s crystal swell,
May seem a span; let me thy vigils keep
’Mongst boughs pavillion’d, where the deer’s swift leap
Startles the wild bee from the fox-glove bell



אשמח מאד לעזרה.


תודה רבה,

Shalom Safranim Ve-Safraniot,

One of our professors is looking  for the frontispiece - an image - of the
1644 Latin publication of Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer, translated by Vorstius.
I was able to find:
 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://winners-files.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/sale_109-public/356.jpg__;!!KGKeukY!i8wP-XYaYpN40ft0zoFczdfVRIdNCYXbiEowTpxRxd6wpyUNpNXGO7OMcjN1SvroRGg$
 

But the lecturer prefers the image from the original book.
Can you help me please?

Thank you very much and Hanuka Sameach!

[ha-Safran] Help

2018-10-24 Thread Smadar Wisper via Hasafran
Shalom Safranim ve Safraniot,

One of our students is looking for  a short story, translated from Yiddish,
about a young boy who was given a tray full of shalach monos (Purim treats)
by his mother to deliver to various friends and neighbors. After he
distributed them, he found that he was left with one. He had apparently
forgotten someone on the list. After considring his options, he ate the
whole thing himself. He threw out the orange, because it was bitter (he
didn't know that it had to be peeled). Later he was consumed with guilt.
The story begins with, "My father rarely took his nose out of his books,
but when he did he could make himself useful."

Any ideas?

I appreciate any help that you can provide.
Thanks in advance.

[ha-Safran] help with a short story

2014-08-11 Thread Smadar Wisper
Shalom Safranim,

Recently, a visitor to our library was looking for a short story which
tells the story of an old man who didn't have the opportunity to learn at a
university as a young man. He began his university studies as an old man,
there he saw young students who had this chance to learn but didn't really
care very much to do so. He became very upset until one day he met a young
man who acted very differently. They spoke for hours and afterwards the old
man received a book from him.

Does anyone recognize this story and can send me the name of the author and
the  title of the story.

Thank you very much,
