»Och vad skall det bli av mig, pappa?« undrar Dvoyrele, förpassad som hon är till det slutna livet i en from judisk shtetl i Polen vid 1900-talets början. En flicka behöver inte bli något alls när hon blir stor, säger hennes far rabbinen. Men det svaret är den vetgiriga och passionerade Dvoyrele inte nöjd med. Hon ser en utväg när familjen flyttar till metropolen Warszawa, vars trånga gränder myllrar av liv. Men ska hon lyckas skapa sig ett eget liv där, eller kommer demonerna att hinna i fatt henne? Esther Singer Kreitman (1891-1954) överskuggades under sin livstid av sina båda författarbröder, Israel Joshua Singer och Nobelpristagaren Isaac Bashevis Singer. I dag har hennes författarskap uppvärderats, och flera jiddischkännare menar att hon med sina på samma gång socialrealistiska och modernistiska böcker kanske till och med var den främsta författaren i syskonskaran. Demonernas dans gavs ut första gången 1936 och presenteras här för första gången på svenska, översatt direkt från jiddisch av Salomon Schulman, som även skrivit bokens förord.
Esther, the biblical book named after the beautiful Jewish woman chosen by the Persian King Xerxes to be queen, is a story of love, political intrigue, and religious faithfulness. Carey A. Moore combines his treatment of scholarly issues with an engaging explanation of the popular Jewish festival of Purim.One of three biblical books named after women (Esther, Ruth, Judith), Esther reads like a novel, with its fast-paced, action-packed story. Drawing on ancient tales of court intrigue and midrashic sources, the author captivates the reader with the story of Queen Esther, her uncle Mordecai, King Xerxes, and the the royal court's villain, Haman. The story not only entertains, it also explains the origins of the Jewish festival of Purim.Moore deftly deals with the scholarly issues peculiar to this book without sacrificing his sensitivity to its literary quality. The uncertainty that Esther should be included in sacred Scripture stems from its apparent lack of religious elements, its absence at Qumran, and its questionable historicity. Moore takes up these issues, carefully explaining and weighing prevailing scholarly theories before registering his own conclusions on the origin, date, and purpose of the book of Esther.
