Meer over het boek

The book explores the evolution of modern Hebrew literature in the two decades following Abraham Mapu's death in 1867, highlighting how oppression and suffering influenced Jewish self-awareness. It examines the contributions of Hebrew novelists during this period, which coincides with the culmination of the Haskalah, or Hebrew Enlightenment movement. Through this lens, the volume provides insights into the themes and narratives that emerged in response to the sociocultural challenges faced by the Jewish community.
