The
Jewish Book of Fables
The Jewish
Book of Fables, The Selected Works of Eliezer Shtaynbarg
The fable
has a 3000-year-old tradition in Jewish literature, going back
to the Bible and the Talmud. Other works of fables abound in
the long stream of Hebrew literature, but it was not until the
advent of the illustrious poet and fabulist Eliezer Shtaynbarg
that fable writing in Yiddish was honed to perfection. This
volume marks the first book devoted to his work. Expertly translated
from the Yiddish by award-winning author and translator Curt
Leviant, this edition features the fables printed side by side
in English and Yiddish with all new color and black and white
illustrations by Dana Duane Craft.
