Mazaltob

A Novel

Übersetzer: Malino, Frances; Azagury, Yaelle

Beschreibung

"The novel Mazaltob (1930) by Blanche Bendahan is the forerunner of a modern Sephardi feminist literature in French, which in recent decades has earned growing recognition. Yet this model for a vital current of post-colonial literature has disappeared from our cultural memory. Rendering the novel Mazaltob into English aims to repair that loss"--
