Product Description

Synopsis

Shadows of Berlin is, in part, a bleak chronicle of life in Europe growing ever more hostile at the edge of World War II, part mythic parable, Bergelson's stories - passionate, honest, dark, and often hilarious - hint at the possibility of redemption even as they suggest a horror just around the corner. Dovid Bergelson (1884-1952) is considered to be one of the best Soviet Yiddish writers of the twentieth century. He was executed in 1952, as part of Stalin's purge of Soviet Yiddish culture.

While the reader is aware of the terrible poignancy of stories set in pre-war Berlin, it's the quality of the stories and the atmosphere that make them worth reading.
