This book begins with a brief history about the Jews in Babylon, now Iraq, their Hebrew creativity, and the fact that this creativity was excluded from the history of Modern Hebrew literature because it was unknown to the scholars. The book focuses on the years 1735-1950 and presents the secular Hebrew poetry written in Babylon at that time. It also includes the folktales, journalistic articles, epistles, research of Hebrew literature, a story and a play. The last part presents the Hebrew periodicals that were published in Babylon.
