About This Item
F Hazan Editions, 1999-03-10. paperback. Very Good/Good. 0x0x0. 1999 Editions Hazan (Paris)5 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches tall x 1 1/2 inches thick paperbound volume in pictorial covers with a matching dust jacket, copiously illustrated with black-and-white photographs and maps, 587 pp. Very slight soiling, rubbing and edgewear to covers and dust jacket. Otherwise, a very good to near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~RR~ [3.5P] This unique book is an unforgettable journey into the heart of yiddishland, a mythical and real land that has never appeared on a map of the world, but whose frontiers have forged rivers, crossed oceans and spanned continents. Although, tragically, it no longer exists, yiddishland - a huge area that stretched from Poland to the Ukraine, Belorussia, Romania, Bessarabia, Eastern Hungary and the Baltic States - lives on through the telling imagery of the humble postcard. Gleaned from the millions preserved in attics, trunks and Jewish family archives all over the world, this remarkable collection brings to life the immutable rhythm of the shtetl. Poignant, touching, and alarming these fleeting moments, frozen in time, portray a civilization which might otherwise have been forgotten. They enable us to relive the past, incite us to remember and record for eternity the history and the legend that is yiddishland.
