Temptations: A Book of Short Stories (1919) (Paperback)

The Yiddish writer, David Pinski, is concerned chiefly with the probing of the human soul, not that intangible and inconsequential theme of so many vaporings, dubbed mystic and symbolistic by the literary labelers, but the hidden mainspring that initiates, and often guides, our actions. The reader will find very little of the conventional heroism and villainism with which most authors are concerned, and very much of the deeply human at which the majority of authors shake their heads. Found within are the stories entitled: Beruriah; Temptations of Rabbi Akiba; Johanan the High Priest; Zerubbabel; Drabkin, a Novelette of Proletarian Life; Black Cat; Tale of a Hungry Man; and In the Storm.
