Hi all,

A while ago, there was some discussion on Yiddish titles. I can't remember
who it was who was interested in them, but anyway:

In the catalogue of the Library of Congress, I found the following titles
which haven't been mentioned yet:

Die ferlorene shif (Grant)
Rayze in unbekante gegenden (Servadac)
Teksers shtrof : oder Nord gegen Soyth (Nord c Sud)
Arum di velt in akhtsig teg : a shpanende ertseylung ful mit shturemdige
momentn (80 jours)
Tsvantsig toyzend mayl unter´n vaser (20K)
Der ferlorener ben yohid (hivernage dans les glaces)

Incidentally, I was wondering how you can tell what language a title in
that catalogue is. Most of the time, you can tell just from the title or
from the place of publishing, but recognizing something like "Chovekut bez
ime" without any further indications is beyond me...

Cheers,
Garmt.
