Description

Explore the remarkable history of language revival with A Dream Come True, part of the Modern Hebrew Classics series by Routledge. This memoir provides a firsthand account of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda (1858-1922), the Russian Jew who led the movement to bring the Hebrew language back into everyday speech. It stands as a unique historical record of the only successful attempt to restore an archaic language to daily use. The book covers his life until 1882, including his experiences after settling in Jerusalem. Readers gain deep insight into the early life and motivations of a man who changed the linguistic landscape of a nation. This work is supported by scholarly expertise, featuring contributions from T. Muraoka, a professor at Leiden University, and George Mandel, a fellow at the Oxford Centre for Postgraduate Hebrew Studies. This text is an essential resource for those interested in social history, biography, and the evolution of modern languages.
