Der Nister (Pinkhes Kahanovitsh, 1884-1950) is widely regarded as the most enigmatic author in modern Yiddish literature. His pseudonym, which translates as 'The Hidden One', is as puzzling as his diverse body of works, which range from mystical symbolist poetry and dark expressionist tales to realist historical epic. Although part of the Kiev Group of Yiddish writers, which also included David Bergelson and Peretz Markish, Der Nister remained at the margins of the Yiddish literary world throughout his life, mainstream success eluding him both in- and outside the Soviet Union. Yet, to judge from the quantity of recent research and translation work, der Nister is today one of the best remembered Yiddish modernists. The present collection of twelve original articles by international scholars re-examines Der Nister's cultural and literary legacy, bringing to light new aspects of his life and creative output.

Emily Janette was an entrepreneur. She had an egg business with a large flock of beautiful chickens. They were all shades of brown, black, and white. And some were speckled in shades of white, brown, and black. The hens produced many eggs that Emily Janette took to market. On a crisp sunny winter day, all was going well. The chickens were out getting exercise and pecking around for bits of gravel, bugs, and worms. When an unexpected snowstorm blew in, it presented a problem for Emily. All the hens cooperated in solving the problem except one. She was a renegade with an attitude. A hen who had a will of her own. Emily could not get her from the prickly pine, so she lived there until the next spring when the hen solved the problem, bringing a big surprise to Emily. This surprise changed Emily's business. The result of helping the neighbors make apple butter brought another problem that had to be resolved. When the apple butter making was over, Emily Janette noticed that she had lost a precious, valuable prized possession. The loss brought tears to her eyes. When she finds it, she is overjoyed, but it is very strange where it has been.
