Description: Vladimir Jabotinsky's Story of My Life by Brian Horowitz, Leonid Katsis As Jabotinsky is gaining a reputation for the quality of his fictional and semi-fictional writing in the field of Israel studies, this autobiography will help reading groups and students of Zionism, Jewish history, and political studies to gain a more complete picture of this famous leader. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Vladimir Jabotinsky is well remembered as a militant leader and father of the right-wing Revisionist Zionist movement, but he was also a Russian-Jewish intellectual, talented fiction writer, journalist, playwright, and translator of poetry into Russian and Hebrew. His autobiography, Sippur yamai, Story of My Life—written in Hebrew and published in Tel Aviv in 1936—gives a more nuanced picture of Jabotinsky than his popular image, but it was never published in English. In Vladimir Jabotinskys Story of My Life, editors Brian Horowitz and Leonid Katsis present this much-needed translation for the first time, based on a rough draft of an English version that was discovered in Jabotinskys archive at the Jabotinsky Institute in Tel Aviv. Jabotinskys volume mixes true events with myth as he offers a portrait of himself from his birth in 1880 until just after the outbreak of World War I. He describes his personal development during childhood and early adult years in Odessa, Rome, St. Petersburg, Vienna, and Istanbul, during Russias Silver Age, a period known for spiritual searching, but also political violence, radicalism, and pogroms. He tells of his escape to Rome as a youth, his return to Odessa, and his eventual adoption of Zionism. He also depicts struggles with rivals and colleagues in both politics and journalism. The editors introduce the full text of the autobiography by discussing Jabotinskys life, legacy, and writings in depth.As Jabotinsky is gaining a reputation for the quality of his fictional and semi-fictional writing in the field of Israel studies, this autobiography will help reading groups and students of Zionism, Jewish history, and political studies to gain a more complete picture of this famous leader.

Review . . . this new edition of Story of My Life will be of interest to those who are following the recent mini-renaissance of Jabotinsky studies . . .--Samuel Hayim Brody "The Russian Review"Brian Horowitz and Leonid Katsis have produced a first-rate English edition of Vladimir Jabotinskys Story of my Life. Jabotinskys "self-fashioning" in this autobiography has been analysed and commented upon by scholars, but now readers without access to the Hebrew original can grapple with this fascinating text on their own. This is a crucial work in modern Jewish political and cultural history, with important (if enormously complex) resonances in contemporary Jewish affairs in Israel and the Diaspora. I recommend it for both scholarly and lay audiences.--Michael Stanislawski "Columbia University"Experiencing an iconic historical figure like Vladimir Jabotinsky in his own words is a promising prospect, and this first English publication of his Story of My Life offers the English reader just that.--Annette Gendler "Jewish Book Council"We owe the editors a debt for allowing us to witness Jabotinskys mind at work.--David B. Starr "Religious Studies Review"While Jabotinskys full life has been covered in a number of biographies, Story of My Life is a must read for anyone seeking to understand his early years. Good for the editors who saw the English version to publication.--Louis Gordon "New York Sun" Promotional Vladimir Jabotinskys famous autobiography, published in English for the first time.
