| Summary: | In this new English translation, Nomburg's stories explore modern Jewish life in the growing cosmopolitan city of Warsaw, young intellectuals in pursuit of truth and beauty, working class fathers tempted by schemes for easy money and teenagers caught between desire and tradition. By turns comic, satiric and earnest, Nomberg's stories take the pulse of Warsaw's Jewish society at the dawn of the 20th century. |
