[BACK COVER]

"A translation should be judged not merely by its fidelity to the original but by whether or not the translator has succeeded in expressing the spirit of the author so that ultimately the translation must be assessed by the same standards as the original. 

Of three things I am certain. First, that Mr. Engel's decision to bring THE DYBBUK by S. An-sky before the English-speaking people has been an admirable and fortunate choice. Secondly, that he has brought off a difficult and challenging task with success in that he has not merely transcribed an absorbing play for us but captured and conveyed the whole essence of his engrossing original. In a work- manlike yet sensitive introduction he displays gifts of true scholarship so that we may with confidence accept his evaluations and judgment. Thirdly, that we shall hear more of Mr. Engel in the future. -- K. W. MAURER, University of Manitoba."
