A Work-In-Progress. Additional translations and interpretations to be added.
Preliminary Impressions from the Russian by Lev Libov:
The writing style is of the end of the 19th century or beginning of the 20th. In other words: an old book. There is great attention to the Jews. It is not clear if the book was specifically a history of Jewish Brest, or if this was a general history of Brest which emphasized the Jews naturally, as they were the majority group.
