Bereshit [Genesis], Part I. Moscow-Leningrad (today St. Petersburg) (Berlin: Gutenberg Press), 1926. Hebrew.
Hebrew literary anthology containing works by Isaac Babel, Yocheved Bat-Miriam, Gershon Hanovits, and others. Part I (no subsequent volumes published). Front cover illustration by Joseph Chaikov. "Publisher's Logo by B. Schubin."
The contributing authors were unable to find a printing press in the Soviet Union willing to publish a Hebrew book, and the manuscript was therefore sent to Berlin for printing. Of the copies printed, only a handful were legally allowed to be brought into the Soviet Union (see: Y. Y. Cohen, "Hebrew Publications in the Soviet Union, 1917-60," Jerusalem, 1961, Hebrew, pp. 39-40).
