Book Synopsis
Lea Goldberg is considered an icon of poetry in Israel, but is practically unknown outside the Hebrew language borders. To date, she has only published a few poems translated into German at the beginning of the 1960s, as well as her first novel "Letters from an Imaginary Journey". This volume focuses on Goldberg's experiences in her academic years in Germany at the end of the Weimar Republic. Yfaat Weiss shows the extent to which Goldberg's study of Semitic philology influenced her work against the background of growing National Socialism. In addition, the question of how Lea Goldberg, who came from the Russian culture of the Lithuanian Kovno, became a mediator of Central and Western European culture in Israel will be investigated.
