Translation is an art as taxing as any of the fine arts practiced
by humankind. The translator is caught between the need to render
the original in a readable and polished version of the target
language and the obligation not to depart too far from the
original, which might have fine nuances not easily transferred from
one language to another. The problem is so well known that
generations of students have given their years to studying
languages so as not to lose those drops of the original
distillation that are inevitably spilled in the process of
transfer. The translator cannot retreat from the confrontation and
must do the best he can. In translating Israel W eissbrem's work
one is faced with a complicating factor: The author was writing in
a language that was in the process of revivification after a long
era during which it had been able to cope with the demands made
upon its resources. The literary demands up until then were largely
of the philosophical and theological order with which the extant
lexicographical inventory could cope. Then, in the nineteenth
century, belles lettres, poetry, the novel, and the essay made
demands that necessitated updating the Hebrew language into a
vernacular that could muster an inventory of phrases for every life
setting.
