Miriam and Other Stories (Hebrew Classics S)

Berdichevsky ( later Ben-Gurion, 1865-1921) was the decendant of a line of Hassidic rabbis. In 1892 he moved to Berlin, where he combined both Jewish and secular studies. By 1900 Berdichevsky had firmly established himself with the publication of nine volumes of articles and stories. Berdichevsky wrote some of his major stories after the war, notably his short novel, Miriam, which he completed shortly before his death.
