Abstract

The book deals with contacts between languages as manifested in literary works by Jewish authors in the 19th and 20th centuries. It discusses authors writing in more than one language (mainly Yiddish and Hebrew), auto-translations and translations (from Hebrew to Yiddish and vice versa, and into Hebrew and Yiddish from other languages such as German and English).
