› Find signed collectible books: 'Arguing the World: The New York Intellectuals in Their Own Words'Book summary:Joseph Dorman's film Arguing the World won New York Magazine's Best New York Documentary award in 1999 as well as the Peabody Award in 1999. His work has also appeared on The Discovery Channel, CBS, and CNN, and has been nominated for two Emmy Awards.[via]
Joseph Dorman's acclaimed documentary, Arguing the World, included stunning interviews with Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, Irving Kristol, and Nathan Glazer. Now with a new preface, Dorman converted the film into this book that includes an overview of the New York Intellectuals and a chapter on the future of the public intellectual. Expertly spliced together from the film and new material, this book gives the sense that these men are still engaged in their fiery debates that targeted everything from the Depression to McCarthyism to the rise of the New Left through the Age of Reagan.More editions of Arguing the World: The New York Intellectuals in Their Own Words:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Contemporary Relevance of History: A Study in Approaches and Methods'Book summary:"In his latest book the author of the classic multivolume 'Social and Religious History of the Jews' steps back from his usual close, archival work to survey the entire field of historical scholarship from a perspective possible only from someone with his long and vast experience. Salo Baron covers history from antiquity to today, from the Mediterranean region to the Western world, critically assessing the various approaches to the study of history that have come into (and fallen from) fashion during his own years of writing history. Included are psycho-history, quantitative history, the socio-religious approach, and social-cultural analysis. While many of Baron's examples are taken from his field of expertise, Jewish history, they often have universal connotations since the Jewish past spans three milennia and tremendous geographical distance."

› Find signed collectible books: 'French Lessons: A Memoir'Book summary:Brilliantly uniting the personal and the critical, french lessons is a powerful autobiographical experiment. It tells the story of an american woman escaping into the french language and of a scholar and teacher coming to grips with her history of learning. Kaplan begins with a distinctly american quest for an imaginary france of the intelligence. But soon her infatuation with all things french comes up against the dark, unimagined recesses of french political and cultural life.the daughter of a jewish lawyer who prosecuted nazi war criminals at nuremburg, kaplan grew up in the 1960s in the midwest. After her father's death when she was seven, french became her way of "leaving home" and finding herself in another language and culture. In spare, midwestern prose, by turns intimate and wry, kaplan describes how, as a student in a swiss boarding school and later in a junior year abroad in bordeaux, she passionately sought the french "r," attentively honed her accent, and learned the idioms of her french lover.when, as a graduate student, her passion for french culture turned to the elegance and sophistication of its intellectual life, she found herself drawn to the language and style of the novelist louis-ferdinand celine. At the same time she was repulsed by his anti-semitism. At yale in the late 70s, during the heyday of deconstruction she chose to transgress its apolitical purity and work on a subject "that made history impossible to ignore:" french fascist intellectuals. Kaplan's discussion of the "de man affair" - the discovery that her brilliant and charismatic yale professor had written compromising articles for the pro-nazi belgian press-and her personal account of the paradoxes of deconstruction are among the most compelling available on this subject.french lessons belongs in the company of sartre's words and the memoirs of nathalie sarraute, annie ernaux, and eva hoffman.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'German Idealism and the Jew: The Inner Anti-Semitism of Philosophy and German Jewish Responses'Book summary:In German Idealism and the Jew, Michael Mack uncovers the deep roots of anti-Semitism in the German philosophical tradition. While many have read German anti-Semitism as a reaction against Enlightenment philosophy, Mack instead contends that the redefinition of the Jews as irrational, oriental Others forms the very cornerstone of German idealism, including Kant's conception of universal reason.[via]
Offering the first analytical account of the connection between anti-Semitism and philosophy, Mack begins his exploration by showing how the fundamental thinkers in the German idealist traditionKant, Hegel, and, through them, Feuerbach and Wagnerargued that the human world should perform and enact the promises held out by a conception of an otherworldly heaven. But their respective philosophies all ran aground on the belief that the worldly proved incapable of transforming itself into this otherworldly ideal. To reconcile this incommensurability, Mack argues, philosophers created a construction of Jews as symbolic of the "worldliness" that hindered the development of a body politic and that served as a foil to Kantian autonomy and rationality.
In the second part, Mack examines how Moses Mendelssohn, Heinrich Heine, Franz Rosenzweig, and Freud, among others, grappled with being both German and Jewish. Each thinker accepted the philosophies of Kant and Hegel, in varying degrees, while simultaneously critiquing anti-Semitism in order to develop the modern Jewish notion of what it meant to be enlighteneda concept that differed substantially from that of Kant, Hegel, Feuerbach, and Wagner. By speaking the unspoken in German philosophy, this book profoundly reshapes our understanding of it.More editions of German Idealism and the Jew: The Inner Anti-Semitism of Philosophy and German Jewish Responses:

› Find signed collectible books: 'God Knows'Book summary:Joseph Heller's powerful, wonderfully funny, deeply moving novel is the story of David -- yes, King David -- but as you've never seen him before. You already know David as the legendary warrior king of Israel, husband of Bathsheba, and father of Solomon; now meet David as he really was: the cocky Jewish kid, the plagiarized poet, and the Jewish father. Listen as David tells his own story, a story both relentlessly ancient and surprisingly modern, about growing up and growing old, about men and women, and about man and God. It is quintessential Heller. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Judaism's Theological Voice: The Melody of the Talmud'Book summary:Distinguished historian of Judaism Jacob Neusner here ventures for the first time into constructive theology. Taking the everyday life of contemporary Judaism as his beginning, Neusner asks when in the life of the living faith of the Torah does Israel, the holy community, meet God? Where does the meeting take place? What is the medium of the encounter?[via]
In his attempt to answer these questions, Neusner sets forth the character and the form of the Torah as sung theology. Israel, the holy community, meets God in the synagogue, while at prayer, and in the yeshiva, when studying the Torahat the moment in each setting when the Torah is received. In both circumstances people do not read but sing out its words. With the written part of the Torah sung in the synagogue, and the oral part declaimed in centers of sacred learning, music provides the medium for Judaism's theological voice.
Neusner identifies a reciprocal exchange between the holy community Israel and God: Israel sings to God when the Torah is studied, and God sings to Israel when the Torah is declaimed. Through the metaphor of music, Neusner offers an account of how he believes those faithful to the Torah meet God in the Torah, and how they should listen to the melody of God's self-revelation. The result is an original theological reflection that will interest all students of Judaism.More editions of Judaism's Theological Voice: The Melody of the Talmud:

In this now-classic and profoundly influential study, the New Yorker's Lawrence Weschler probes these dilemmas across two gripping narratives (set in Brazil and Uruguay, among the first places to face such concerns), true-life thrillers in which torture victims, faced with the paralysis of the new regime, themselves band together to settle accounts with their former tormentors.[via]

Hardcover, Oxford Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Oxford Book of Jewish Stories'Book summary:In this remarkably wide-ranging anthology, Ilan Stavans has collected the work of more than fifty notable Jewish writers from around the globe, weaving these diverse viewpoints and voices into a rich portrait of Jewish literary tradition.
The Oxford Book of Jewish Stories takes us from the mid-1800s right up to the present, encompassing the full spectrum of Jewish writing around the world. The variety of tales captured here is stunning. Readers will find stories such as "A Yom Kippur Scandal" by Sholem Aleichem, the father of Yiddish literature; "Before the Law" by Franz Kafka; "Looking for Mr. Green" by Saul Bellow; "The Spinoza of Market Street" by Isaac Bashevis Singer; and "Midrash on Happiness" by Grace Paley. Stavans has included many pieces by Americans, including such markedly different writers as Cynthia Ozick, Bernard Malamud, Moacyr Seliar, Stanley Elkin, Delmore Schwartz, Dan Jacobson, Francine Prose, Allegra Goodman, and Philip Roth. And here too are pieces from around the globe, by writers no less varied: Isaac Babel, Italo Svevo, Primo Levi, Elias Canetti, Amos Oz, and Danilo Kis. What emerges in the end is proof of an observation by Ba'al Makshoves--that the Jews may have many languages and a dozen echoes in foreign tongues, but only one literature. And it is one of the finest in the world.
The many marvelous tales that fill The Oxford Book of Jewish Stories affirm that a shared identity can exist without sterile uniformity--and that writers can engage their religious and cultural heritage without losing touch with those rich, complex ambiguities that inhabit the heart.
