{"product_id":"god-man-and-devil-yiddish-plays-in-translation-9780815627876","title":"God, Man and Devil: Yiddish Plays in Translation","description":"God, Man, and Devil\" is an anthology of five Yiddish plays in translation, plus two additional independent scenes, all written by well-known playwrights in the first quarter of the twentieth century. The settings range widely--a luxurious parlor, a haunted graveyard, a farmyard, a sweatshop on strike, a subway, and the boardwalk of Atlantic City. The plays evoke tears and laughter through melodrama, expressionism, satire, fantasy, farce, suspense, and romance. But all consider the same question: what is life's moral purpose? And all display the theatrical flair that made Yiddish audiences such passionate fans of their dramas and their stars. Translated and edited to make them more accessible for both reading and performance, the plays are accompanied by prefaces and notes to help students of theater and of Jewish culture by providing historical context, production histories, and elucidation of references.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nahma Sandrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Publications in Continuin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.05w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815627876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNahma Sandrow\u003c\/b\u003e, professor of English at Bronx Community College CUNY, wrote the books for two award-winning musicals, \u003ci\u003eVagabond Stars\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKunileml, \u003c\/i\u003e each based on Yiddish theater material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Syracuse University Publications in Continuin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40183727882355,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_27cb766e-d496-41ff-90b4-24b698898385.jpg?v=1655559168","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/god-man-and-devil-yiddish-plays-in-translation-9780815627876","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
