| Title: Adventures of Max Spitzkopf |
| Sub-title: The Yiddish Sherlock Holmes |
| Translated by: Mikhl Yashinsky By (author): Jonas Kreppel |
| ISBN13: 9798990998056 |
| Max Spitzkopf, the Yiddish Sherlock Holmes, â heads the famous Viennese detective bureau Blitz . . . Heâ s bold as a lion and takes the wildest risks.â Meet Max Spitzkopf: legendary private eye, undefeated foe of villains, and passionate defender of the Jewish people. No matter how hopeless or dangerous the case, when â the investigatory professionâ s greatest artistâ is summoned, justice is assured. Aided by his trusty assistant, Fuchs, super-sleuth Spitzkopf deploys equal parts physical bravery and intellectual ingenuityâ not to mention a knack for stealthy disguiseâ to unpick evil conspiracies, outwit the canniest of criminals, and restore moral order to the world. Giving a unique twist to a beloved literary genre, this complete collection of the fifteen Spitzkopf mysteries is also a vibrant testament to Jewish life, in all its variety, during the last years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Reading the tales, with every iota of their linguistic verve and historical charm preserved in Mikhl Yashinskyâ s translation, itâ s easy to see why the young Isaac Bashevis Singer thought them â masterpieces.â |

| Title: Desires |
| By (author): Celia Dropkin |
| ISBN13: 9798989452422 |
| Celia (Tsilye) Dropkin (1887â 1956) was best known as a poet whose work addressed sexual and erotic themes with a frankness that shocked readers and critics. In the 1930s she turned to prose, publishing Desires, her only novel, in sixty-eight installments in the Jewish Daily Forward, or Forverts. Like her poetry, Desires reflects on the internal and external conflicts of love, domesticity, and sexuality, as well as the competing impulses that are part of every life. |

| Title: Isaac Bashevis Singer: Writings on Yiddish and Yiddishkayt |
| Sub-title: A Spiritual Reappraisal, 1946–1955 |
| Translated by: David Stromberg By (author): Isaac Bashevis Singer |
| ISBN13: 9798989452484 |
| Between 1946 and 1955 Isaac Bashevis Singer underwent a total transformation. During the post-Holocaust period Singer reappraised everything he knew, questioned all his assumptions, and rebuilt his artistic vision. This transformation would soon become evident in his literary fiction, but it was also laid out for readers in essays that appeared in the pages of the Yiddish daily Forverts. Sitting in New York, with the Cold War and McCarthyism gripping American hearts and minds, Singer dove deep into his cultural and spiritual heritage to turn the moral and social principles of the past into workable tools that could build a viable Jewish future. Some of the issues that Singer raises in this collection are not only prescientâ they are more urgent in our day than they were in his. Throughout, Singer reminds us that the human spirit is our greatest treasure and that we are each personally responsible for its safekeeping. |

| Title: Journey through the Spanish Civil War |
| Sub-title: The Hinterlands |
| By (author): S.L. Shneiderman Translated by: Deborah A Green |
| ISBN13: 9798989452446 |
Selected as one of Kirkus Reviews' Best Indie History & Biography Books of 2024!
In 1936, when civil war broke out in Spain between Republican and Nationalist forces, thousands of Jews streamed into the country to fight for the elected Republican government. One of these arrivals was S. L. Shneidermanâ although he did not come to fight. Shneiderman (1906â 1996) was a poet, translator, and literary journalist whose coverage of the Spanish Civil War earned him the moniker â the first Yiddish war reporter.â With the collaboration of his wife, Eileen, and photographs by his brother-in-law David Seymour (known professionally as Chim), Shneidermanâ s dispatches from Spain made him one of the most influential Yiddish journalists of the century. Almost a century later, his book on the Spanish Civil War, published in 1938 as Krig in shpanyen: hinterland and now translated for the first time into English by Deborah A. Green, remains a vivid ground-level record of the conflict through a uniquely Jewish lens. |
