In 1930, Avigdor Hameiri traveled through Eastern and Central Europe. Bolshevism and Fascism threatened and Europe was poised on a knife-edge. From the growing danger and confusion surrounding inter-war Europe, in prose at once compassionate and bitingly sarcastic, comes a sweeping account of Jewish life from one of Israel’s prolific writers.
