Classics of Jewish Literature

This volume celebrates the rich and wide-ranging legacy of Jewish authors, featuring everything from drama and poetry to folklore, fiction, and philosophy.

Classics of Jewish Literature illuminates Jewish thought and culture from ancient to modern times. Here you will find key excerpts of immortal works that run the gamut from The Book of Job to Anne Frank’s diary, from Josephus to Albert Einstein, from Baruch Spinoza to Martin Buber, and from Yehuda Halevi to Emma Lazarus.

The editors selected some of the finest writings from the worlds of essay, fiction, poetry, drama, the Torah, and nonfiction—including several new translations from Hebrew, Yiddish, and German. Each entry has its own introduction, placing these authors and their works in socio-historical perspective, often revealing little-known information about them.
