Jewish Language and Literature -...

Joseph Arston

The origins of Jewish language and literature are deeply intertwined with the history of the Jewish people, shaped by centuries of cultural exchange, migration, and adaptation. At the heart of Jewish literary tradition lies the Hebrew language, whose roots stretch back to the ancient world. Hebrew, as the language of the Bible, forms the foundation of Jewish thought, identity, and religious practice. The earliest examples of Hebrew literature can be found in the sacred texts of the Torah, where the stories, laws, and teachings of the Jewish people are recorded. These texts, passed down through generations, have remained central to Jewish life and continue to be a source of literary and theological inspiration.
In addition to Hebrew, other languages played an important role in the development of Jewish language and literature. Aramaic, a Semitic language closely related to Hebrew, became widespread during the Babylonian exile and remained influential for centuries. Aramaic is the language of significant portions of the Talmud and other rabbinic writings, shaping Jewish legal and philosophical thought. Over time, Jewish communities across the globe adopted the languages of the regions they inhabited, which further contributed to the diversity of Jewish literary expression.
The emergence of Yiddish, a language born in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, marked a significant shift in Jewish linguistic and literary culture. Yiddish, a Germanic language enriched with Hebrew, Aramaic, and Slavic elements, became the vernacular of millions of Ashkenazi Jews. It allowed for the creation of a vibrant body of literature, including plays, novels, and poetry, that expressed the daily lives, struggles, and aspirations of Jewish communities. Yiddish literature flourished in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with writers such as Sholem Aleichem, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and I.L. Peretz capturing the complexities of Jewish life through their works.

How States Shaped Postwar...

Nicholas Dagen Bloom

The history of public policy in postwar America tends to fixate on developments at the national level, overlooking the crucial work done by individual states in the 1960s and ’70s. In this book, Nicholas Dagen Bloom demonstrates the significant and enduring impact of activist states in five areas: urban planning and redevelopment, mass transit and highways, higher education, subsidized housing, and the environment. Bloom centers his story on the example set by New York governor Nelson Rockefeller, whose aggressive initiatives on the pressing issues in that period inspired others and led to the establishment of long-lived state polices in an age of decreasing federal power. Metropolitan areas, for both better and worse, changed and operated differently because of sustained state action—How States Shaped Postwar America uncovers the scope of this largely untold story.

Breakfast with the Scavengers

Ben Rhys Palmer

In Ben Rhys Palmer's joyful debut collection, discombobulated robots rub shoulders with philosophising hyenas, orangutan brides, Mesopotamian fish gods, and a psychotherapist from outer space.

A Welsh poet based in Mexico, his poems about Mexico capture the magic and vibrancy of a country André Breton once described as 'the most surrealist in the world.' Other poems pay homage to Welsh cult heroes John Cale and Adrian Street, and Ben's plucky ancestor, Rebecca Howells, who emigrated to Patagonia after her husband was killed in a mining explosion at Blaengwawr Colliery.

At once funny, tender, and beautifully bizarre, Breakfast with the Scavengers explores love, loss, loneliness, our never-ending quest for connection, and those blink-and-you-miss-them moments of transcendence that can light up our lives.
