Forms of Exile in Jewish Literature and Thought

Twentieth-Century Central Europe and Migration to America

«

“In this book of essays [the author] creates an original and ingenious typology of the forms of exile. Her grasp of this phenomenon is unusually inventive, not only as a result of her long-term study, but also through personal experience of more than forty years of exile… It is a book that stimulates and inspires many thoughts and developments. It is appropriate not only for academic readers, but also for a general public interested in questions of exile. It could also be fruitfully used as a textbook in literature courses covering central European literature of the period.”

Forms of Exile in Jewish Literature and Thought deals with the concept of exile on many levels-from the literal to the metaphorical. It combines analyses of predominantly Jewish authors of Central Europe of the twentieth century who are not usually connected, including Kafka, Kraus, Levi, Lustig, Wiesel, and Frankl. It follows the typical routes that exiled writers took, from East to West and later often as far as America. The concept and forms of exile are analyzed from many different points of view and great importance is devoted especially to the forms of inner exile. In Forms of Exile in Jewish Literature and Thought, Bronislava Volkova, an exile herself and thus intimately familiar with the topic through her own experience, develops a unique typology of exile that will enrich the field of intellectual and literary history of twentieth-century Europe and America.
