VOICES OF A PEOPLE IN JOHANNESBURG
Subtitle: The Story of Yiddish Folksong Author: Ruth Rubin Publisher: Jewish Publication Society of America () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good - Cover rubbed with slight edge wear. Binding: Softcover Pages: 558 Dimensions: 21.5 x 13.9 x 3.2 cm +++ by Ruth Rubin +++ A priceless collection of song texts in Yiddish and English, as well as a selection of tunes Rubin transcribed, this volume brings the Jews' ancient, itinerant culture alive through children's songs, dancing songs, and songs about love and courtship, poverty and work, crime and corruption, immigration, and the dream of a homeland. Rubin's notes and annotations weave each text into the larger story of the Jewish experience. A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world. If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
