Description:
First Edition.120 p.; ill. Scarce book with minor scrapes/shelfwear to dust jacket. Heel and tip of spine slightly bumped, otherwise Fine. From dust jacket:
In Dangerous Luck, David Makow brings into focus the profound questions as to whether a person's life unfolds by his own volition, circumstances, fate, or luck.
A teenager when the Nazi war machine rolled into his native Poland, he survived on his wits and his ability to make quick decisions that turned out to be the correct ones.
His first fortunate decision was made as the German army approached the city of Lodz, where he lived. While many were leaving by foot or horse cart, he decided to remain with his parents and wait for the Germans to arrive. Those who left were strafed mercilessly by German aircraft on the road to Warsaw. Another lucky decision was to move to the interior of Poland just before the Lodz ghetto was established.
In 1942, when the Holocaust began, he made his most amazing choice. Instead of trying to get as far as he… Read More

Description:
Presumably first edition. 119 p.; ill. Small 1 cm tear and sticker residue to dust jacket with minor edgewear. Pastedowns have manufacturing flaw (slightly wrinkled) but book is otherwise in Fine condition. Edited by Barbara Kaufman and Michal Schonberg. Illustrated by Paul S. Weldon. From the dust jacket: The Dybbuk is the classic drama of the Yiddish theatre. Written in the early twentieth century by S. Ansky, the play is set in an isolated Polish community of Hassidic Jews, and tells the story of Leah, a young Jewish maiden who becomes possessed by the tortured soul, the dybbuk, of her beloved. The Dybbuk is a haunting love story, steeped in Jewish folklore, mysticism and Old Testament morality. John Hirsch has translated and adapted The Dybbuk for the modern stage and the modern audience. "I tried to uncover its values, expand and reshape them through a modern sensibility that would make them as accessible to a non-Jewish as a Jewish audience," says Hirsch. The result is a strong and moving…
