From Man to Man (Paperback)
Moishe Nadir Translator: Harvey Fink
Translated from the original Yiddish, From Man to Man is a series of ninety-eight philosophical meditations on various aspects of life and love, written by the American writer and poet Moishe Nadir (1885-1943) and originally published in 1919. Sparkling and exuberant, these poetic miniatures display quite an astonishing variety of moods and are at once playful and critically insightful about the world around us. "mine is the wonderful love that has burned itself out in a thousand fires and like a salamander has crawled out from beneath the ash for the thousandth time become alive and dangerous" - Moishe Nadir - From Man to Man Nadir may have believed in the impermanence of the writer, but he also believed in the permanence of the expression of the life force through him. As remarkable as the text is, the translation by Harvey Fink represents an impressive achievement. His devotion assures us that Nadir will take his place as one of the most innovative writers of his own, or any era.
