Resurrecting Hebrew
by Ilan Stavans

This book is a personal and historical exploration of how Hebrew transformed from a sacred, "dead" language into the modern, spoken language of Israel. Stavans investigates the life of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, who spearheaded the revival, while examining the impact of this linguistic transformation on Jewish identity, Zionism and culture.
