Bernstein translated a number of important literary works, by figures such as Maxim Gorky, Leonid Andreyev, Leo Tolstoy, and Ivan Turgenev, from Russian to English. His own plays The Mandarin and The Right to Kill, were presented on Broadway. In addition, he published poems (including those collected in The Flight of Time and Other Poems ), short stories (including those collected in In the Gates of Israel: Stories of the Jews ), and a novel (Contrite Hearts, 1903).
In 1915, Bernstein published a book, La Rekta Gibulo, in the so-called universal language Esperanto. No one knows what it is about.
