Synopsis The Yerkle Yerkle Rooster by : Vivian Bevins
Emily Janette was an entrepreneur. She had an egg business with a large flock of beautiful chickens. They were all shades of brown, black, and white. And some were speckled in shades of white, brown, and black. The hens produced many eggs that Emily Janette took to market. On a crisp sunny winter day, all was going well. The chickens were out getting exercise and pecking around for bits of gravel, bugs, and worms. When an unexpected snowstorm blew in, it presented a problem for Emily. All the hens cooperated in solving the problem except one. She was a renegade with an attitude. A hen who had a will of her own. Emily could not get her from the prickly pine, so she lived there until the next spring when the hen solved the problem, bringing a big surprise to Emily. This surprise changed Emily's business. The result of helping the neighbors make apple butter brought another problem that had to be resolved. When the apple butter making was over, Emily Janette noticed that she had lost a precious, valuable prized possession. The loss brought tears to her eyes. When she finds it, she is overjoyed, but it is very strange where it has been.

Synopsis Uncovering the Hidden by : Gennady Estraikh
Der Nister (Pinkhes Kahanovitsh, 1884-1950) is widely regarded as the most enigmatic author in modern Yiddish literature. His pseudonym, which translates as 'The Hidden One', is as puzzling as his diverse body of works, which range from mystical symbolist poetry and dark expressionist tales to realist historical epic. Although part of the Kiev Group of Yiddish writers, which also included David Bergelson and Peretz Markish, Der Nister remained at the margins of the Yiddish literary world throughout his life, mainstream success eluding him both in- and outside the Soviet Union. Yet, to judge from the quantity of recent research and translation work, der Nister is today one of the best remembered Yiddish modernists. The present collection of twelve original articles by international scholars re-examines Der Nister's cultural and literary legacy, bringing to light new aspects of his life and creative output.

Synopsis Journey After Midnight by : Ujjal Dosanjh
A midnight's child of poor rural India, Ujjal Dosanjh emigrated to the United Kingdom in 1964 at the age of eighteen, and spent nearly four years making crayons, car parts and shunting trains while he attended night school and learned English by listening to BBC Radio. He moved to Canada in 1968, to the west coast, where he pulled lumber in a sawmill for a few years, eventually earning a B.A from Simon Fraser University in 1973 and then his law degree from the University of British Columbia three years later. He practiced law for many years, and was a social justice advocate who fought for the rights of farm and domestic workers. After many years as a Member of the Legislative Assembly he became Attorney General and then Premier of British Columbia, the first person of Indian descent to hold these offices anywhere in the country. This is a deeply personal and thoughtful memoir of Dosanjh’s journey from his beloved India to the upper echelons of Canadian politics, a story that is both wise and compelling, about a man passionate about social justice and democratic process who continues to rail against injustice and corruption wherever it is happening in the world.

Synopsis The Night & I and by : Anh Hong
In the chaos of the current world, such as wars, epidemics, natural disasters, greed, cruelty, dishonesty, meanness, and lies among the people, questions arise: What is going on? Who am I? Where is this? What was I born on this Earth to do? Why are people cruel to nature and to humans? These questions haunt even my dreams. Therefore, I write as an effort to "rescue" myself, to free myself from the hurts, screams, and pains. "The Night & I and..." contains the sounds of confusion, brokenness, and worry for human beings (including myself). Humans are so small and fragile, walking back and forth on Earth, always facing unforeseeable uncertainties. After struggling experiences and facing "The Night," darkness, and many mysteries, I have more energy to love, share, be tolerant, and attach to life and people. The more pain and sorrow I feel over evil and badness, the more I hope that day by day, people will live more kind, and the world will be peaceful. (HFT)

Synopsis The Other Middle East by : Franck Salameh
This unique literary collection offers a window on the contemporary Levant, a region comprising most of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Cyprus, parts of southern Turkey and northwestern Iraq, and the Sinai Peninsula. Originally written in Arabic, French, Aramaic, Lebanese, Egyptian, and Hebrew, and reflecting an extraordinary diversity of cultures, faiths, traditions, and languages, the selections in this book also convey a wide range of ideas and perspectives, to offer readers a nuanced understanding of the mosaic that is the contemporary Middle East. Franck Salameh, who compiled this anthology over the course of more than two decades, introduces and annotates each selection for the benefit of the uninitiated reader, offering background on the various peoples and politics of the Levant. In these pages, we discover a Middle East in which, as one writer puts it, “an Armenian and a Turk can still hold hands in the midst of massacres.”
