Ahad Ha'Am - Letter to Mendele Mocher Seforim and

Item Details

Description

A handwritten letter, on official stationary, written by Ahad Ha'Am (Asher Ginzberg), to his friends Mendele Mocher Seforim (Shalom Ya'akov Abramovich) and Mordechai Ben-Ami. Odessa, Elul, 1906. Hebrew.
Ahad Ha'Am mentions his recent birthday and thanks his friends for their letter: "several days ago I returned from a four months journey and on 'that day' I was not at homeâ€¦I am not used to celebrate my birthday and I did not tell anybody and it is not my fault that other people know my age and announced it. Since it was done already I thank you for the pleasure I found in reading your linesâ€¦â€
Further in the letter Ahad Haâ€™Am writes about the city of Odessa and its intellectuals: â€œoy, beloved friends, our city is orphaned and our parcel dismantledâ€¦There is no joy in our streets but only desertionâ€¦and I pray that we will sit together againâ€¦â€
[1] leaf, 22 cm. Good condition. Minor spotting. Folding marks. Several minor tears around the edges.
