The second volume of the series Yiddish Editions & Research, presents the poetry of Avrom Sutzkever (1913-2010), one of the greatest Yiddish writers of the 20th century. The themes of his work span his early childhood in Siberia, youth in Vilna, Lithuania, the catastrophe of the Holocaust, and a new life in Israel. Sutzkever is a modernist poet of great originality whose work is rooted in the cultural heritage of the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe.This ist the first bilingual edition of Sutzkever's work to present a substantial selection of poetry from all periods of his creative life. A previously unpublished lecture by the poet sheds light on his poetic credo and an literary-biographical essay by the translator, Heather Valencia, together with notes on the poems, make this literary oeuvre accessible to a wide readership.

Karbala: A Historical Play by Premchand
In seventh-century Arabia, Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Imam Hussain, <br>sacrificed his life and his family members and companions in the desert of<br>Karbala, Iraq, to resist the debauched ruler Yazid. In twentieth-century India, <br>when the communal conflict was at its peak, Premchand wrote a play about this<br>pivotal event of Islamic history and transformed it into a nationalist narrative.<br>This first-ever English translation of Premchand's outstanding play Karbala<br>(1924) is an illuminating blend of historical facts and imagination. It reveals<br>Premchand's profound understanding of the communal conflict in early<br>twentieth-century India and his unique way of imagining the nation, in tune<br>with Gandhian principles of communal harmony and co-existence of religions.
