About the Book

Hayyim Nahman Bialik (18731934) is celebrated as one of the leading figures in modern Jewish literature.

Random Harvest: The Novellas of Bialik is written in contemporary English and takes into account the large and important corpus of Bialik criticism that has been published over the years. This stunning new translation not only evokes the subtleties of the original Hebrew, it also reveals nuances which have eluded previous translators of Bialiks prose.
