This book requires no previous knowledge of Yiddish or Jewish history - just a curious mind. This first-ever history of Yiddish is so full of life that it reads like a biography of the language. The tale of the language and its people ranges far beyond Europe, from North America to Israel to the Russian-Chinese border, and from the end of the first millennium to the present day. Ex-library copy with limited library markings (see photos). Clean pages with no writing, no folded pages. Crisp DJ with a light wrinkle on the front, mild edge wear (no tears) and a scratch on the back. Retail price $26. Ships in a box, protected with bubble wrap. (SW2) (10B)
