内容简介
Paul Kriwaczek begins this illuminating and immensely
pleasurable chronicle of Yiddish civilization during the Roman
empire, when Jewish culture first spread to Europe. We see the
burgeoning exile population disperse, as its notable diplomats,
artists and thinkers make their mark in far-flung cities and found
a self-governing Yiddish world. By its late-medieval heyday, this
economically successful, intellectually adventurous, and self-aware
society stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Kriwaczek
traces, too, the slow decline of Yiddish culture in Europe and
Russia, and highlights fresh offshoots in the New World.Combining
family anecdote, travelogue, original research, and a keen
understanding of Yiddish art and literature, Kriwaczek gives us an
exceptional portrait of a culture which, though nearly
extinguished, has an influential radiance still.
