The Monday Morning Memo

 

Success!

This out-of-print book contains the only English translation of The Travels of Benjamin III. Amazon.com has a few, used copies of it.

Take a look if you're interested. I already bought mine.

The hero of The Travels of Benjamin III is a fool in a town full of poor Jews who barely manage to keep themselves alive. Benjamin is struck suddenly by a desire to travel, and joined by Sendrel he sets out to find a Jewish kingdom mentioned in legends of the Ten Lost Tribes. They hardly make it around the block. Barely escaping from their own wives, the two travel only as far as nearby towns. As the novel progresses they fall into the hands of Jewish kidnappers, who take advantage of their naiveté to sell them into the czarist army. They are caught when they try to escape, and the army’s response to this treason is a delicious twist that leaves the reader wondering who exactly is insane – and where precisely the line is drawn between an absurdity and a worthwhile dream.
(Summary by Omri Lernau)

Random Quote:

“Le Pen is sometimes compared to Donald Trump, but the analogy is not quite apt. Certainly, their movements share an anti-immigrant, selectively isolationist brand of nationalism—“Les nôtres avant les autres” (“Ours before others”) is the R.N.’s version of “America First.” Both have ties to strongmen and a taste for tariffs and fossil fuels. But Trump is more plutocratic than populist when it comes to policy. And, whereas the Republicans romanticize a bygone world, the R.N. is keen to present itself as a forward-looking concern. Trump is a soft man obsessed with seeming tough; Le Pen is a tough woman forever trying to project a soft touch.”

- Lauren Collins, The New Yorker, Dec 7, 2024. (R.N. is Rassemblement National) "President Emmanuel Macron Has Plunged France into Chaos" "Lawmakers have toppled the government for the first time since 1962. How did we get here?"
