Recenzje

Ingeniously conceived as a biography, Jeffrey Shandler's Yiddish is a multi-dimensional tour of the language and the people who spoke it (and spoke about it). Its erudition, creativity, and range are astonishing. Free of disciplinary shackles, scholarly yet accessible, Yiddish belongs to a genre of its own.
