Mendele Moyher-Sforim Journey of Benjamin III

In Yiddish. Short description: Mendele Moyher-Sforim. Journey of Benjamin III. Moscow, 1959. Mendele Meikher-Sforim (1835 - 1917) - Jewish writer, considered the founder of modern secular Yiddish literature. Classic of literature in Yiddish and Hebrew. He was a teacher at the Jewish state school. The Travels of Benjamin III, a Jewish version of the travels of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, was written by Mendele Moyher-Sforim in Yiddish and translated into Hebrew. The author sends Benjamin, a dreamer, a learned and well-read person, and Senderl, a poor fellow, an earthly man living in the real world, in search of the ten lost tribes of Israel, to the Promised Land. Incredible comic adventures and ordeals fall to the lot of two naive Jews. The story was first published as a separate book in Vilnius in 1878. The title says: part one. Obviously, Mendele conceived a continuation of the story. However, it did not take place. Please feel free to contact us for a detailed description of the copies available. SKUMS002031
