Peretz Hirschbein Books
Peretz Hirshbein was a prolific Yiddish-language author, celebrated for his plays, novels, journalism, and travelogues. His work, which prioritized mood over plot, earned him the moniker "the Yiddish Maeterlinck." Hirshbein's plays are consistently characterized by vivid, terse, and naturalistic dialogue. Unusually for Yiddish playwrights of his era, most of his works feature pastoral settings, reflecting his own background in milling and farming. His theatrical contributions and the influence of his own troupe laid significant groundwork for the second golden age of Yiddish theater.
