Aftergrowth and Other
Stories

BY Hayyim Nohman Bialik.
Translated from, the Hebrew
by !. M. Lask. Philadelphia:
The JeUish Publication So
ctety of America.
The reviewer knows no better
superlative in praise for any book
than to say that she has purchased
that book for her own library. And
that is what she did In the case Of
this present work. which is as beau
tiful piece OF story-writing rs she
has come upon for long time.
The author, Haydn Mailman
Bialk. was for the Is years preced-
ing his death in 1894 a leader In the
renaissance of the Hebrew culture.
He was born In Russia. where he
lived until after the Communist
revolution. Subsequently, he settled
In the Jewish colony in Palestine,
where he remained to the end of
his life. He was a poet rather than
q prose writer; five stories ap-
parently are the sum of his prose
competition. Three of these are
contained In the present volume
"Aftersrowth," "The Shamed Trum-
pet" and "The Short Friday" AL
are fine things, but the hrst and
longest, "Aftergrowth," is a MASTER
piece. 1t is an absolutely exquisite
bit Of writing. That 1t should ap-
pear so in translation is, Of course,
thanks to the wisdom Of the trans
lator. whose obviously talented
offices should not go unnoted.
1t is, very simply, the story Of
little boys life in Russian village,
remembered by the boy himself in
manhood. The delicacy, the humor,
the wonder, the grief of childhood
are set forth In perfection-and the
word is used advisedly. The story
Is one OF the great ones of all time.
"The Shamed Trumpet" is another
tale Of Russian village life. It re-
lates the tragedy of a Jewish FAM
lily under the czarist edict expelling
the Jews from the Russian villages.
It, too, is beautifully done, though
the high. pure quality which marks
"Aftergrowth" Is not so perceptible
In it. Still, it is moving thing.
The other tale is just a farcical
sketch setting forth the woes of an
extra-pious rabbi who, on the eve
Of the Sabbath, drank not wisely
but too well. It's humor is broad
enough to be enjoyed by all readers
the good mans plight becomes a
human one rather than a religious.
But 1t is for the first tale that
the reviewer made her purchase.
She repeats that this is storytelling
in perfection.

provocative-in all events, fasci-
mating. For example, how did Sher-
lock manage to make financial ends
meet in those years before wide
spread fame? Was he really an
American posing, through some
fancy of his, as an Englishman?
r. K. Leavitt, who takes up the
first question, concludes that Holmes
almost certainly could not rely on
fees from his richer clients for
subsistence; that he counted on the
innumerable small fry who brought
their minor problems and several
shilling fees before him. Christopher
Morley offers surprising revelations
as to Holmes ancestry and personal
leanings to indicate that he wasn't
English at all. There is an essay
on Holmes as q music lover, another
on Holmes the gourmet. j. s..
Whispers
By Samuel Hopkins. adams.

Hardly any plot is more hack
neyed than the one based on rnisun-
derstanding. Usually, 1t runs like
this:
The heroine becomes incensed at
the man she loves because she has
reason to believe him untrue. In
her pique she accepts the attentions
Of another man, whom she does not
love. In the end, she finds that she
has been true in spite of all the ap-
parent evidence to the contrary.
That Is precisely the plot around
which Whispers" is written. An
unknown writer could not get by

does.

Men In Our Time.
By Audar. Ne1D York. Robert
NJ. Mcbride & Co.
This Is series of nine character
sketches Of the men who, according
to the author, are most influential
in British war policies. Seven of
those men are government members
Neville Chamberlain, Winston
Churchill, Lord Halifax, Sir, John
Simon, Anthony Eden, Sir Kingsley
Wood and Sir Samuel Hoare. The
two others hold no offlce at pres
ent-they are Alfred DUH Cooper
and Leslie Hore- -Belisha. Mr.. Hore-
Belisha was included because he was
In the cabinet at the time the book
was written Mr.. Duff Cooper, says
the author, deserves to be included
among men who are WELDING power.
j. It Is my belief that, though he
has held high ONCE. the more i'm
pressive part Of his career is yet to
come"
In the main, considering the i'm
portance which these men occupy
before the world, the analyses set
down here are disappointingly shall
low. They seem to be the work Of .
man who wishes to make pleasant
impression on his readers without
telling them very much. Generan-
ties, Irrelevant bits Of personal his-
tory, tales Of old parliamentary bat
tles-such material makes. up the
greater part Of the volume. There
is little direct criticism and there is
quite lot Of praise. Yet the reader
Is likely to feel that the very, praise
Is ominous, for it Is generally re-
lated to political strategy rather
than to statesmanly wisdom. Surely,
one feels like saying, the record Of
the men ut the helm Of the British
Empire In this crisis is not 90 wholly
barren! But II there Is more
heartening information to be had,
AudAx doss not givs It. M.c. \
