The Renascence Of Hebrew Literature 1743 to 1885 is a comprehensive book written by Nahum Slouschz that explores the revival of Hebrew literature during the period spanning from the mid-18th century to the late 19th century. The book delves into the social, cultural, and political factors that contributed to the flourishing of Hebrew literature during this time, including the rise of the Haskalah movement, the impact of the Enlightenment, and the emergence of Zionism.Slouschz provides a detailed analysis of the major literary figures of the era, including Moses Mendelssohn, Isaac Baer Levinsohn, and Yehuda Leib Gordon, and examines their contributions to the development of Hebrew literature. The book also explores the various genres of Hebrew literature that emerged during this period, including poetry, drama, and fiction, and discusses the themes and motifs that were prevalent in these works.Throughout the book, Slouschz emphasizes the importance of the Hebrew language as a means of cultural and national identity for the Jewish people, and argues that the revival of Hebrew literature played a crucial role in the development of modern Jewish consciousness. The Renascence Of Hebrew Literature 1743 to 1885 is a seminal work on the subject of Hebrew literature and is essential reading for anyone interested in Jewish history, culture, and literature.Bi-Mezulot Yam (""In the Depths of the Sea"") revives a terrible episode of the exodus of the Jews from Spain (1492). The refugees embarked on pirate vessels, where they were exploited pitilessly. The cupidity of the corsairs is insatiable. After despoiling the Jews of all they own, they sell them as slaves or cast them into the water. This is the lot that threatens to overtake a group of exiles on a certain ship. But the captain falls in love with the daughter of a Rabbi, a maiden of rare beauty. To rescue her companions, she pretends to yield to the solicitations of the captain, who promises to land the passengers safe and sound on the coast. He keeps his word, but the girl and her mother must stay with him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
