Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Socher is one of the sharpest observers of Jewish America in our times. These essays, tracing a journey from a yeshiva to Oberlin College and from Franz Kafka to Rabbi Kook, are a loving, cutting, whimsical, and wise look at a Jewish moment that he senses might be ending."--Matti Friedman, author of Spies of No Country: Secret Lives at the Birth of Israel "A lively gathering of essays . . . Socher's mode of close reading demonstrates the interpretive power that resides in deep Jewish learning." --Jewish Book Council "A true reckoning of Jewish ideas and Western thought and culture--both classic and popular--and its discontents, especially as played out on the contemporary university campus." -- Tradition How did HumphreyBogart end up telling Lauren Bacall a Talmudic story in the film Key Largo ,and what does that have to do with Plato's theory of recollection--or AmericanJewish assimilation? Precisely what poem of Robert Frost's inspired Nabokov's PaleFire , and how did Walter Benjamin learn about the remarkable stones ofSinai? Abraham Socher wears his learning lightly. These witty and originalessays embody the spirit of the liberal arts, but the highlight of thiscollection may be his devastating account of the illiberal arts at work in OberlinCollege, where he taught for eighteen years.

Paperback. Condition: New. The first complete and annotated English translation of Maimon's delightfully entertaining memoirSolomon Maimon's autobiography has delighted readers for more than two hundred years, from Goethe and George Eliot to Walter Benjamin and Hannah Arendt. Here is the first complete and annotated English edition of this enduring and lively work. Born into a down-on-its-luck provincial Jewish family in 1753, Maimon distinguished himself as a prodigy in learning. After a series of picaresque misadventures, he reached Berlin, where he became part of the city's famed Jewish Enlightenment and achieved the philosophical education he so desperately wanted. This edition restores text cut from the abridged 1888 translation by J. Clark Murray-for long the only available English edition-and includes an introduction and notes by Yitzhak Melamed and Abraham Socher that give invaluable insights into Maimon's extraordinary life.

Hardback. Condition: New. With extraordinary chutzpa and deep philosophical seriousness, Solomon ben Joshua of Lithuania renamed himself after his medieval intellectual hero, Moses Maimonides. Maimon was perhaps the most brilliant and certainly the most controversial figure of the late-eighteenth century Jewish Enlightenment. He scandalized rabbinic authorities, embarrassed Moses Mendelssohn, provoked Kant, charmed Goethe, and inspired Fichte, among others. This is the first study of Maimon to integrate his idiosyncratic philosophical idealism with his popular autobiography, and with his early unpublished exegetical, mystical, and Maimonidean work in Hebrew. In doing so, it illuminates the intellectual and spiritual possibilities open to a European Jew at the turn of the eighteenth century.
