«L'effet madeleine: Petits croquis d'époque autour de mots yiddish» is Michel Rubin's essay, published by L'Harmattan in paperback (237 pages).
Michel Rubin reconstructs, with a touch of self-criticism, the atmosphere of a vanished Jewish culture through picturesque scenes and the Yiddish words that evoke them. Before delving into the text, the author proposes pausing over expressions and turns of phrase in Yiddish and French, an invitation to savour the ambience and appreciate its linguistic richness.
The work was published in Paris in the Rue des écoles collection by L'Harmattan.
For readers interested in Jewish culture, the Yiddish language and period vignettes.
