Himself a tragic figure, Shapiro led a life marked by frequent ocean crossings, alcoholism, and failed ventures, yet his writings are models of precision, psychological insight, and daring.Shapiro focuses intently on the nature of violence: the mob violence of pogroms committed against Jews; the traumatic aftereffects of rape, murder, and powerlessness; the murderous event that transforms the innocent child into witness and the rabbi's son into agitator. Within a society on the move, Shapiro's refugees from the shtetl and the traditional way of life are in desperate search of food, shelter, love, and things of beauty. Remarkably, and against all odds, they sometimes find what they are looking for. More often than not, the climax of their lives is an experience of ineffable terror.This collection also reveals Lamed Shapiro as an American master. His writings depict the Old World struggling with the New, extremes of human behavior combined with the pursuit of normal happiness. Through the perceptions of a remarkable gallery of men, women, children-of even animals and plants-Shapiro successfully reclaimed the lost world of the shtetl as he negotiated East Broadway and the Bronx, Union Square, and vaudeville.Both in his life and in his unforgettable writings, Lamed Shapiro personifies the struggle of a modern Jewish artist in search of an always elusive home. 410 0$aNew Yiddish library. 606 $aLITERARY COLLECTIONS / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aLITERARY COLLECTIONS / General. 676 $a839/.133 700 $aShapiro$b Lamed$f1878-1948.$01040724 702 $aGarrett$b Leah, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451682903321 996 $aThe cross and other Jewish stories$92463816 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05498nam 2200649 450 001 9910788813703321 005 20200903223051.0 010 $a1-5015-0019-8 010 $a1-61451-298-1 024 7 $a10.1515/9781614512981 035 $a(CKB)3360000000514985 035 $a(EBL)1037912 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001421561 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11770338 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001421561 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11422723 035 $a(PQKB)10808981 035 $a(DE-B1597)207331 035 $a(OCoLC)922639485 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781614512981 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1037912 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11015868 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL807281 035 $a(OCoLC)903956168 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1037912 035 $a(EXLCZ)993360000000514985 100 $a20150214h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aReligious publishing and print culture in modern China $e1800-2012 /$fedited by Philip Clart and Gregory Adam Scott 210 1$aBerlin, Germany :$cDe Gruyter,$d2015. 210 4$dİ2015 215 $a1 online resource (356 p.) 225 0 $aReligion and Society,$x1437-5370 ;$vVolume 58 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-61451-299-X 311 $a1-61451-499-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tTable of Contents --$tIntroduction: Print Culture and Religion in Chinese History --$tChapter One: The Colportage of the Protestant Bible in Late Qing China: The Example of the British and Foreign Bible Society --$tChapter Two: Publishing Prophecy: A Century of Adventist Print Culture in China --$tChapter Three: Navigating the Sea of Scriptures: The Buddhist Studies Collectanea, 1918?1923 --$tChapter Four: Printing and Circulating ?Precious Scrolls? in Early Twentieth-Century Shanghai and its Vicinity: Toward an Assessment of Multifunctionality of the Genre --$tChapter Five: The Xiantiandao and Publishing in the Guangzhou-Hong Kong Area from the Late Qing to the 1930's: The Case of the Morality Book Publisher Wenzaizi --$tChapter Six: Morality Book Publishing and Popular Religion in Modern China: A Discussion Centered on Morality Book Publishers in Shanghai --$tChapter Seven: Illuminating Goodness ?

The influence of China in the contemporary world continues to expand, and with it has come an urgent need to understand the processes by which its modern history was made. Issues of religious freedom and of religion's influence on the public sphere continue to be contentious but important subjects of scholarly work, and the role of print and textual media has not dimmed with the advent of electronic communication. This book, Religious Publishing and Print Culture in Modern China 1800-2012, speaks to these contemporary and historical issues by bringing to light the important and abiding connections between religious development and modern print culture in China. Bringing together these two subjects has a great deal of potential for producing insights that will appeal to scholars working in a range of fields, from media studies to social historians. Each chapter demonstrates how focusing on the role of publishing among religious groups in modern China generates new insights and raises new questions. They examine how religious actors understood the role of printed texts in religion, dealt with issues of translation and exegesis, produced print media that heralded social and ideological changes, and expressed new self-understandings in their published works. They also address the impact of new technologies, such as mechanized movable type and lithographic presses, in the production and meaning of religious texts. Finally, the chapters identify where religious print culture crossed confessional lines, connecting religious traditions through links of shared textual genres, commercial publishing companies, and the contributions of individual editors and authors. This book thus demonstrates how, in embracing modern print media and building upon their longstanding traditional print cultures, Christian, Buddhist, Daoist, and popular religious groups were developed and defined in modern China. While the chapter authors are specialists in religious traditions, they have made use of recent studies into publishing and print culture, and like many of the subjects of their research, are able to make connections across religious boundaries and link together seemingly discrete traditions. 410 0$aReligion and Society 606 $aReligious literature, Chinese$xPublishing 607 $aChina$xReligion 615 0$aReligious literature, Chinese$xPublishing. 676 $a070.50951 702 $aClart$b Philip$f1963- 702 $aScott$b Gregory Adam 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788813703321 996 $aReligious publishing and print culture in modern China$93787140 997 $aUNINA
