Krátky popis
Beginning with ",Gimpel the Fool,", the story that brought Isaac
Bashevis Singer to prominence in America in the 1950s, this Library
of America volume is the first of three gathering most of Singer's
short fiction. These stories were published in English in the
versions he called his ",second originals,", translations that he
supervised and on which he himself often collaborated, revising his
Yiddish texts as he worked. Born in 1904 into a family of rabbis,
Singer grew up in a devout household in Warsaw's Jewish quarter,
but he also spent time in the villages and market towns of eastern
Poland, most notably Bilgoray, where he took refuge with his mother
and brother during World War I. He had firsthand exposure to forms
of Jewish folk culture that were destroyed by the Nazis, and many
of his works testify to the richness of that annihilated world. In
his stories set in Poland, Singer drew upon vernacular traditions
for tales imbued with a wild, sometimes mischievous, often
disturbing supernaturalism that was an outgrowth of local
storytelling but containing dark undercurrents born of his own
concerns and obsessions. At the same time, his skeptical but never
dismissive engagement with religion and spirituality--and the
opposing forces of secularism--enabled him to take part in the
creative ferment of Jewish modernism but also distance himself from
its politics and literary methods. In addition to ",Gimpel the
Fool,", this volume--drawn from Singer's first four
English-language collections of stories originally published in the
1950s and 1960s--contains some of Singer's most beloved tales:
",The Spinoza of Market Street,", ",The Gentleman from Cracow,",
",Taibele and Her Demon,", and ",Yentl the Yeshiva Boy,", the basis
of a hit Broadway play and the film Yentl. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an
