Travels in Translation: Sea Tales at the Source of Jewish Fiction
ISBN: 9780815634577 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. For centuries before its "rebirth" as a spoken language, Hebrew writing was like a magical ship in a bottle that gradually changed design but never voyaged out into the world. Isolated, the ancient Hebrew ship was torpid because the language of the Bible was inadequate to represent modern life in Europe. Early modern speakers of Yiddish and German gave Hebrew the breath of life when they translated dialogues, descriptions, and thought processes from their vernaculars into Hebrew. By narrating tales of pilgrimage and adventure, Jews pulled the ship out of the bottle and sent modern Hebrew...

Next time pick it up from where we left off and, again, go just so far. Section by section, vacation by vacation, trip after trip, and, after each, I would write about what we found, and research for the next trip. And, with respect,...

Letters from the Pacific: 49 Days on a Cargo Ship
ISBN: 9781494475314 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych.

Forty-nine days of empty ocean look like a long time, but in these engaging "letters home" about the characters on board, the ports exotic and dull, the workings of the ship itself, and the endless, sibilant sea - the voice of the interior journey began to assert itself. Who knew where it would go? Readers say the result is a slow boat to everywhere they want a book to take them, a vividly told voyage on...
