Publisher's Synopsis

This is the first English translation of a volume of 44 short cinematic stories based on Israeli author Avigdor Hameiri's (first Poet Laureate of Israel) release from captivity as a prisoner of war of the Russians after the Russian withdrawal from the First World War. Hameiri, a former Hungarian officer arrived in Odessa during the Russian Civil War and writes of the anti-Jewish riots and pogroms. First published in Hebrew in 1929, these stories allow readers to experience how Hameiri himself perceived the Bolshevik activities and the effects on Russian Jews. The entire book has the pacing of prose poetry in its sparse-cinematic style.
