Hersh Dovid Nomberg (1876-1927) was one of a new wave of Yiddish
writers who made a name for himself with his characteristically
atmospheric short stories populated by artists, philosophers and
other outcasts. Newly translated by Daniel Kennedy, Nomberg's
stories explore modern Jewish life in the growing cosmopolitan city
of Warsaw: young intellectuals in pursuit of truth, beauty, and
love; working class fathers tempted by schemes for easy money;
teenagers divided between their traditional religious upbringings
and the world of secular culture and political revolution. In this
new English translation, Hersh Dovid Nomberg's stories explore
modern Jewish life in the growing cosmopolitan city of Warsaw:
young intellectuals in pursuit of truth and beauty; working class
fathers tempted by schemes for easy money; and teenagers caught
between desire and tradition. By turns comic, satiric, and earnest,
Nomberg's stories take the pulse of Warsaw's Jewish society at the
dawn of the twentieth century.
