Masechet Edmonim, Tel Aviv [1923]. Satire Poking Fun at Communists
"Tractate 'The Reds' from the Bolshevik Talmud ..." by Avshalom bar Druma. Tel Aviv, 1923.
Sharp, stinging satire poking fun at the Communist movement. Arranged in the Babylonian Talmud's format with "commentaries" surrounding the text, the names of these commentaries are all plays-on-words of the genuine Talmudic commentators. "The rabbis learn: there are six hundred thousand communists in Russia. Ten of them are crazy ... ten to a hundred are gullible and believe everything. The rest are robbers and thieves ... one who sees 'the reds' in a dream should expect searches, thievery and murder ..."
Avshalom Bar Druma is the pen name of Avraham Shlomo Melamed, author of Masechet Socharim and the autobiography, Chaim Kimo Shehem.
Description: [1] 24 leaves. 22 cm. Jacket title page.
