Publisher's Synopsis

Bypaths in Hebraic Bookland is a book written by Israel Abrahams that explores the world of Hebrew literature. The book is a collection of essays that delve into various aspects of Hebrew literature, including the history of Hebrew literature, the works of individual Hebrew writers, and the cultural and social contexts in which Hebrew literature was produced. Abrahams also examines the influence of Hebrew literature on other cultures and the role of Hebrew literature in shaping Jewish identity. The book is written in a scholarly but accessible style and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Hebrew literature and Jewish culture.1920. It was the author's intention to interest rather than instruct, to suggest the importance of certain authors and books, perhaps to rouse the reader to probe deeper than the writer himself has done in subjects of which here the mere surface is touched. Many of the papers found in this volume appeared in a popular weekly, the London Jewish World, while others were specially written for this volume. The books discussed within are worthy of consideration. Beyond doubt, most of them belong to the category of the significant and some of them even attain the rank of epoch making. These papers are offered to those familiar as well as to those unfamiliar with the works themselves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
