New York: Grohar & Stodolsky, 1926. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Presumed first Yiddish edition. Translated by Sh. Schneider, with the author's permission. Octavo. 302pp. Text in Yiddish. Fine in very good dust jacket with some rubbing, soil, small edge chips, and a scratch on the lower panel. A very presentable copy of this New York City-published novel by the 1920 Nobel laureate. Very uncommon, especially in the relatively delicate jacket. First published in 1913, *The Encyclopedia of the Novel* describes *Children of the Age* as "a historically based - and utterly scathing - critique of modernity."
