Druyanov claims that Jewish humor "enables the Jew to escape from reality, to take the measure of all things and, for a moment, to drink deeply from the intoxicating cup of freedom.

Original wrappers bound in later hardcover. Druyanow was an Hebrew writer, researcher, editor, and Zionist activist, born in the shtetl of Druja, Vilna region, to a rabbinic family. In 1886, he entered the Volozhin yeshiva, where he joined the Hibat Tsiyon movement. In 1890 he began publishing articles in the Hebrew press. Under the influence of his friend Mikhah Yosef Berdyczewski, Druyanow went to Breslau in 1891, hoping to enroll at the university. Failing to do so, he returned to Druja. From 1892 to 1899 he worked as an iron merchant but continued to write for the Hebrew and Yiddish literary press. His most notable articles from that period included a review of Tolstoy's works that appeared in the anthology Mi-Mizrah umi-ma'arav, edited by Re'uven Brainin (1894); a piece on the poet Adam ha-Kohen in Ahad Ha-Am's Ha-Shiloah (1897); and a series of feuilletons published in the Yiddish monthly Der yud. Upon the recommendation of Ahad Ha-Am in 1899, Druyanow was appointed secretary of the Va'ad le-Yishuv Erets Yisra'el (The Council for the Settling of the Land of Israel), based in Odessa. In 1905, he moved to Vilna to set up the Russian Zionist Center, and subsequently served as its secretary. In 1906, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and worked as a bookkeeper for a trading company in Haifa. Returning to Vilna in 1909, he became editor of the Zionist movement's weekly, Ha-'Olam, which had relocated from Germany. Under his direction the newspaper's quality and literary sections were upgraded. In 1912, the editorial board moved to Odessa, where he continued to serve as editor until the outbreak of World War I. During the war years, he worked on behalf of an aid committee that had been established in Odessa, providing help for thousands of Jewish refugees who poured into Russia from regions of Galicia, Bessarabia, and Poland that had been occupied by Germany. Following this, he managed the business affairs of an oil company that was based in Ekaterinoslav and St Petersburg, while continuing his Zionist activities. In 1918, while in Odessa with Hayim Nahman Bialik and Yehoshu'a Hana Ravnitski, Druyanow founded the ethnological journal Reshumot (1918-1930; after the second volume, it was published in Tel Aviv), chronicling documentary material on the history of East European Jewry. In 1921, he left Russia with a group of writers, who, thanks to the intervention of Bialik, received exit visas. He settled in Jerusalem and was appointed representative of the Devir publishing company in Palestine. In 1923, he moved to Tel Aviv, where he earned his living as a banker. In Palestine he regularly contributed political articles and literary essays to the local press. In 1931, he went to Poland as an emissary of the Jewish National Fund, and upon his return published his book Tsiyonut be-Polanyah (Zionism in Poland; 1932), in which he sternly criticized the patronizing attitude of the Zionist movement toward Polish Jewry; the book aroused much controversy.1928-1931, he served on the editorial board of the Hebrew-German encyclopedia Eshkol, in 1936 he published Sefer Tel Aviv, a significant portion of which he wrote by himself. In addition to his other activities, D invested much energy into two comprehensive research projects, both of which he had started in Odessa.
