Gershom Scholem's name transcends the boundaries of Jewish studies, representing the history of Jewish mysticism and messianism. Less known is that he was deeply engaged throughout his life with poetry, translations, and philological theoretical questions. This edition showcases this literary aspect of the renowned religious scholar. It provides a comprehensive and systematic insight into the work of the writer and translator, the intellectual and critic, by gathering Scholem's poetics into six sections and offering detailed commentary on each text. Gershom Scholem appears here as an engaged intellectual of Israel, who actively participated in contemporary debates about authors in the country and those in the diaspora, both analytically and passionately.
