About this ebook
This volume presents The Dybbuk, S. Ansky’s well-known drama of mystical passion and demonic possession, along with little-known works of his autobiographical and fantastical prose fiction and an excerpt from his four-volume chronicle of the Eastern Front in the First World War, The Destruction of Galacia.
S. Ansky
S. Ansky was born Shloyme-Zanvl ben Aaron Hacohen Rappoport in Belarus, then part of the Russian Empire. Initially, Ansky wrote in Russian, but from 1904 on, he became known mainly as a Yiddish author. He turned his back on his Orthodox Jewish upbringing, and became active in the Socialist Revolutionary Party in the early 1900s. (He was elected to the Russian Constituent Assembly as a deputy in 1917.) Although Ansky is most widely known for the play The Dybbuk, he published an impressive number of works of literature, politics, and ethnography.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great. It's interesting to read about time when social customs were so different, and yet I have come to the conclusion that nothing really changes.
