Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the development of Yiddish civilization during the Roman Empire, the narrative follows the spread of Jewish culture across Europe through the contributions of diplomats, artists, and thinkers. It highlights the vibrant, self-governing Yiddish communities that flourished from the Baltic to the Black Sea in the late Middle Ages. The book also addresses the gradual decline of Yiddish culture in Europe and Russia, while noting its enduring influence and new expressions in the New World. Combining personal anecdotes and original research, it offers a rich portrait of a nearly extinguished yet radiant culture.
