"Revivim", literary anthology, edited by Joseph Chaim Brenner. Lvov-Jaffa, 1908-1919.
Booklets A,B,C-D, F (booklet E is missing). No further booklets have been printed. Important literary anthologies edited and published by Brenner when he discontinued the publication of "HaMeorer". Fair condition. A leaf is missing at the end of the second booklet. Staining. Worn covers, ink-stamps. Loose or detached leaves.
"In the summer of 1908 Brenner worked hard on the publication of the anthology Revivim. Whenever Brenner thought that the anthology hit an obstacle, whether for financial difficulties or since his friends did not hurry to send manuscripts, or facing printing problems, Brenner would announce that his final decision is to go at the end of the summer to Eretz Israel. When the crisis was over, Brenner used to announce that he decided to postpone his trip. The anthology was delayed in the printing press and Brenner started to interfere, 'I realized that if I do not take this project into my hands it will never be published, and I was obliged to undertake all the production upon myself.' This declaration reflects a real situation and maybe expresses Brenner's tendency to take upon him more and more missions. He was yearning for hectic activity which gave him a feeling of action but also the feeling that he is over burdened and persecuted. This was another expression of his love of suffering. Toward the end of August the first volume of Revivim was published and in September Brenner already worked on the second volume (Brenner, Life Story, Anita Shapira, Am Oved, 2008, p. 145).
