ABSTRACT
Playwright, translator, critic, ana author of stories, Samuel Eichelbaum was born in Entre Ríos, Argentina, the child of Russian immigrants. He belongs to the literary generation of Alberto Gerchunoff, the first to infuse Argentine letters with a Jewish sensibility. Eichelbaum is the author of Tempest from God and The Unchanging Traveler. His plays include Aaron the Jew and No One Ever Knew Her. He was among the first to handle racial issues openly in his country. "A Good Harvest," Rita Gardiol suggests, appears to be based on a real-life incident. "Some say it is the story of Eichelbaum's father, an unhappy immigrant farmer driven to desperate measures to relocate his family in the city."
