Description
Drama by the playwright Alexander Samuel ben David Solomon Carmon (Karmon, 1886-1913). Born in Odessa. Carmon is a dramatist of the second Aliyah, that is, his writings belong to into the worldview shared by other prominent contemporary like minded writers such as Ever Hadani, David Maletz, and Agnon. These writes created a language and symbolism based on the polarity between those who fulfill the Zionist principles of pioneering Zionism and those who, in their eyes, do not. In this perspective a picture of a Jew plowing or sowing is positive while one of a Jew wearing a “Baron’s suit” is negative. This ideology is reflected He-Halutz ha-Katan, beginning with the cover which has a depiction of a halutz (Jewish pioneer) plowing a field. The play is dedicated to Carmon’s nephew, David ha-Katan who bears the author’s father’s name, David Solomon. The play is in three acts and the parts includes a businessman, his wife, workers, passerbys, and others.
