BEHRMAN HOUSEn the thirty-five years of my teaching I have never encountered a
Hebrew literature text which met the demands of the student: an
anthology which would be sophisticated yet engaging, one which
would help the student make the transition from a controlled
textbook vocabulary to the sophistication of literary passages.
My constant annoyance at the lack of such a book
prompted my wife’s suggestion that I should
write the book myself. Well aware of the time,
energy, and commitment that would be
involved in the creation of such a book, I
defensively countered that perhaps she, the
author of a successful Hebrew language series,
should do it herself. After all, she had been
teaching at precisely that level with great success
for many years and had developed both the proper
guiding concepts and specific materials for her
classes. Taking up the challenge, she assembled,
refined and repeatedly tested her teaching materials
in the classroom. The result is the reader at hand.
READER: Modern Hebrew Prose and Poetry fills
a crucial lacuna in teaching modern Hebrew. Able to
be introduced in any second or third-year class of college-level Hebrew, the
Reader provides selections at an intermediate level of linguistic proficiency
whose content speaks to the adult mind.
The Reader is arranged around a number of general topics: love,
loneliness, the Holocaust, childhood, parents and children, Israel, and
humor. Selections include verse by some of Israel’s finest poets—Yehudah
Amichai, Leah Goldberg, Dan Pagis, Nathan Zach, and others—and a
wide variety of prose selections including stories by S.Y. Agnon, Meged,
and Efraim Kishon. Also included are selections from Pirke Avot and
Buber's Hidden Light.
Thought provoking questions are presented after every selection as
well as a vocabulary list of unfamiliar words, terms, and cultural
expressions. The book also includes, in English, brief biographical sketches
of the authors and a comprehensive dictionary covering all the vocabulary
listed after each selection.
With the creation of the Reader, a new generation of Hebrew
students will be welcomed into the world of Hebrew literature with an ease
and excitement previously unattainable from one book.
