No Star Too Beautiful by Tom D Crouch, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

NO STAR TOO BEAUTIFUL is a bountiful anthology that brings together the masterpieces of this now-vanishing tongue that was once the everyday speech of Jews all over Europe, and later globally. Joachim Neugroschel has chosen stories emblematic of the people and their times, from the earliest extant written work to the present. He has newly translated almost all the stories, some appearing in English for the first time, and his introductions to the pieces provide historical context. Joachim Neugroschel was a well known literary translator (he translated French, German, Italian, Russian, Yiddish, and German). He also published poetry and was a poetry magazine founder. Neugroschel was born in Vienna on January 13, 1938. He grew up in New York City and graduated from Bronx Science in 1954, and Columbia University in 1958 with a degree in English and Comparative Literature. He moved to Europe and returned to New York six years later where he became a literary translator. Neugroschel was the winner of three PEN Translation Awards, the 1994 French-American Translation Prize, and the Guggenheim Fellowship in German Literature (1998). Neugroschel died on May 23, 2011 in Brooklyn, N. Y.

Whatever the practical consequences, the sheer exhilaration of flight captured the imagination. No longer bound to the surface of the earth, humans took the first steps on a journey that would eventually carry them to other worlds. Tom Crouch weaves the people, machines, and ideas of the air age into a compelling narrative. He tells how the enthusiasm of amateurs spawned an industry that determined the rise and fall of nations. Yet this is not a tale of unalloyed progress. Moments of exaltation were tempered by bitter disappointment and stark terror. Blind alleys were the price of technical progress. In the end, there is no more fascinating cast of characters than those who wrote history in the sky. Theirs is a fascinating story of realizing an extraordinary dream and riding it. | No Star Too Beautiful by Tom D Crouch, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
