מידת־הדין
Harsh Judgment
David Bergelson
Translation by Sasha Senderovich and Harriet Murav
Mides hadin (1929) is one of David Bergelson’s most innovative and experimental works. An aura of mystery infuses the opening chapter: three riders go out on an evening patrol that seems more like dream than reality.
