December 12, 2012 To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material for Personal Notices & Announcements as plain text (no HTML, other coding, or attachments), write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line, and e-mail to [email protected]. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. ___________________________________________ From:Fernando Peñalosa <[email protected]> Date: Nov. 10, 2012 [sic] Subject: *The Dybbuk; Text, Subtext, and Context* Tsiterboym Books announces the publication of The Dybbuk: Text, Subtext, and Context, by Fernando Peñalosa. This wide-ranging account of The Dybbuk begins with a summary of the life of S. An-sky, the polemicist, fiction writer, ethnographer, activist, and folklorist, as well as playwright. It discusses the development of the play, including an analysis of its main themes, as well as a detailed examination of the probable or possible sources drawn on for its composition. There is a lengthy discussion and comparison of the four canonical versions: the original Russian, the Yiddish, Bialik’s Hebrew translation, and the Habima theatre company’s modified Hebrew production. There follows an account of the play’s most important productions, including the many adaptations and spinoffs, such as ballet and musical productions, including several operas. Appended to the main text is a series of synopses of the play itself, related plays and films, as well as a summary of the stenographic report of Mishpat Hadibbuk, the 1926 mock trial of The Dybbuk in Tel Aviv, following much criticism of performances that year in Mandate Palestine. It has detailed notes, an extensive bibliography and index. viii + 270 pp., illustrated. Available at Amazon.com for $19.95. ___________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
