Soul of Saul: The Life, Narrative and Proverbs of a Transylvanian-Israeli Grandfather

Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

Present-day proverb research invariably deals with issues of identity, space, relations, and dialogue. This study implements these concerns with regard to the overall folk creation and performance of Saul Rosenzweig, the author's father-in-law, a Jewish-Israeli elderly man of Austro-Hungarian (Transylvanian) origin.
