Description
Bella Chagall's memoir Burning Lights is a warm and nostalgic account of her childhood in pre-Revolutionary Russia. The book is illustrated with thirty-six pen-and-ink drawings by Marc Chagall, adding a unique visual dimension to the story. Born into a well-to-do Hasidic family, Bella Chagall recounts her Jewish upbringing and the traditions that shaped her life. In the 1930s, she and her husband Marc conceived the idea of commemorating their native town with a book, resulting in this charming memoir. The title Burning Lights is an allusion to the festive candles that lit up the holidays of the Jewish year during Bella's childhood. This beautifully illustrated book offers a glimpse into a bygone era, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in Russian-Jewish culture and history.
