An early classic of Hebrew Literature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Brenner was the most prominent literary figure of the First Aliyah. He was a man- of - letters , a critic, commentator, essayist, translator , poet and above all, novelist. The publisher of this book, Toby Press describes it as follows: "Brenner's Hefetz is a wanderer in search of a spiritual homeland. His desperate attempt to build a new life in Palestine has been taken to symbolize the entire Zionist enterprise. Far more than an absorbing period piece, Breakdown and Bereavement is the universal story of individual loneliness integral to the human condition. Brenner's writing comes alive in a fluent and sensitive rendering by Hillel Halkin, the distinguished translator of Agnon, Berdichevsky, Amos Oz and Haim Sabato.(266 Pages) Brenner may not attempt the linguistic complexity and symbolic depth of his great compeer, S.Y. Agnon but his fiction is nonetheless of great value and historical importance.
