"Written soon after the founding of the state of Israel, The Second Scroll is A.M. Klein's most innovative and visionary work. The five "books" of the novel are a modern testament of Jewish experience to which are appended "glosses" or commentaries in the form of drama, epistle, poetry, and psalm. The action centres on a young writer from Montreal, whose search for his legendary Uncle Melech becomes a journey of revelation through Italy, Morocco, and the Holy Land. Dissident and exile, reformer and scholar, Melech is a messianic figure who enacts the destiny of his people and embodies the spiritual yearnings of everyman. The Second Scroll, Klein's only novel, combines the lyric genius of his poetic works with compelling reportage to create one of the most eloquent and original works in Canadian fiction"--viewed on Amazon.com 11/5/2015

A collection of articles and editorials prompted by contemporary events, written between 1928-55, during the time that Klein served as editor of "The Judaean", "The Canadian Zionist", and the "Canadian Jewish Chronicle". Not included are items on literature, which deserve to be published in a separate volume. In the articles published here, Klein addresses such topics as antisemitism in interwar Canada; the rise of Nazism and Nazi policies in Germany; isolationism and "pacifism" in North America, which had anti-Jewish overtones; the Holocaust and the inaction of the world powers; Zionism and anti-Zionism; and postwar Stalinist anti-Jewish policies

"Throughout his career, A.M. Klein struggled to define for himself the role of the poet in the contemporary world. Deeply rooted in the traditions of Judaism, and at the same time powerfully attracted by the freedom and scope of international modernism, he sought to reconcile past and present, community and creative individuality. Whether or not he finally achieved his own high aims, it was, in his own words, 'something merely to entertain them.' The result was a body of work immensely rich and varied in tone, language, and culture resonance." "This collection of eighty-four poems offers a reprensentative sampling of Klein's finest poetry, while taking into account the changing critical discourse of the last fifty years. Anyone interested in experiencing the full range of Klein's poetic achievement, or in understanding the complex nature of the poet, need look no further than this eminently readable volume."--Jacket
