This Is A New Release Of The Original 1919 Edition.

IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We

1919. 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.

'Oh, it's a funny sensation, having money in your pocket, I can
tell you... Money warms you. If you knew how warm and safe I feel.
Like a new creature in a new skin.' In a production commissioned by
the Finborough Theatre, a unique opportunity to see a classic of
Yiddish theatre for the first time in the UK - Treasure by David
Pinski. Tille is the poor gravedigger's daughter, with nothing in
the world except a head full of dreams. Things look set to stay
that way, until the day her brother returns from the graveyard with
a pile of gold coins, and Tille is faced with a choice. She can
hand in the money and go back to a life of drudgery, or she can use
it to turn the world upside down. As the village community
disintegrates into chaos and descends on the cemetery in search of
gold, Tille and her family must use all their wits to stay one step
ahead of those who want their share of the treasure. A timeless
fable that digs down into the depths of our folly and greed and, in
the midst of the chaos, celebrates one woman's ingenuity. Treasure,
or Der Oytser, is a comic masterpiece of Yiddish theatre. Written
in 1906 and first performed in 1912, it remained popular in the
Yiddish repertoire until the 1940s: most notably, Max Reinhardt's
production in Germany in 1919, an English-language version on
Broadway in 1920, as well as a production staged in the Vilna
Ghetto in 1943.
