Yiddish: A Nation of Words - Miriam Weinstein

About a thousand years ago, European Jews began speaking a language that was quite different from the various tongues and dialects that swirled around them. It included Hebrew, a touch of the Romance and Slavic languages, and a large helping of German. In a world of earthly wandering, this pungent, witty, and infinitely nuanced speech, full of jokes, puns, and ironies, became the linguistic home of the Jews, the bond that held a people together.
Here is the remarkable story of how this humble language took vigorous root in Eastern European shtetls and in the Jewish quarters of cities across Europe; how it achieved a rich literary flowering between the wars in Europe and America; how it was rejected by emancipated Jews; and how it fell victim to the Holocaust. And how, in yet another twist of destiny, Yiddish today is becoming the darling of academia. Yiddish is a history as story, a tale of flesh-and-blood people with manic humor, visionary courage, brilliant causes, and glorious flaws. It will delight everyone who cares about language, literature, and culture.

Thanks. FYI, there are just 20 of 26 chapters included.

A fix for the missing chapters perhaps?

INDEED there is an issue, starts at chapter 003 then goes to 012, but skips to 017. Seems there are indeed several sections missing.
Bummer, otherwise looks to be an interesting book. Hope a fixed version appears.

Hi all,
There aren’t any parts missing. I went through the book and deleted the “This is Audible” and “end of pert one” fluff, so the book flows better. I didn’t have time to re-number the chapters, but everything is as it should be if you listen :)

@professoramoretti
You can’t blame people for seeing these gaps in numbering and assuming parts actually are missing.
We have had reports in the forum and the torrent might have been deleted without clarification.
You can use the free app mp3tag to quickly renumber the tracks and and rename the files of a folder full of mp3 files.
I don’t know if you have received my emails. Probably not since you have not replied. So
please get a forum account so we can sort out issues like this more easily.
