Powieść

Książka w języku angielskim. In "Enemies : a love story" – an ode to the complicated postwar experience of Holocaust survivors – Isaac Bashevis Singer tells the story of Herman Broder, a man lost in his own indecisiveness and dishonesty. Almost before he knows it, Herman has three wives: Yadwiga, the Polish peasant who hid him from the Nazis, Masha, his beautiful and neurotic true love, and Tamara, his first wife, miraculously returned from the dead. But the difficulty of navigating his crowded personal life, as well as the general ambiguous experience of Yiddish New York after WWII, leaves Herman with a sense of perpetually impending doom.

Powieść Saga rodzinna

Książka w języku angielskim. Originally published in Yiddish between 1953-1955 as a single work, Isaac Bashevis Singer’s The Manor and The Estate now appear in a single-volume English edition. Recounting the tales of Polish Jews in the second half of the nineteenth century – a time of rapid industrial growth and radical social change – the novel depicts the Jewish community moving from the ghetto to prominence within Polish society. As Singer writes in his author’s note, “All the spiritual and intellectual ideas that triumphed in the modern era had their roots in the world of that time – socialism and nationalism, Zionism and assimilationism, nihilism and anarchism, suffragettism, atheism, the weakening of the family bond, free love, and even the beginnings of Fascism.” Telling the story of Calman Jacoby, who stands between the old and the new, the book portrays the difficulties encountered by traditional Jews coming to terms with the changes brought on by modernity.

Opowiadania i nowele Antologia

Książka w języku angielskim. Isaac Bashevis Singer is known for his mastery of storytelling – but it was not until 1966, at the age of sixty-two, that he published his first children’s book, Zlateh the Goat, a Newbery Honor Book and instant classic. Singer went on to write many stories for children, most of which are included in this volume, along with a brief introduction and a special epilogue, “Are Children the Ultimate Literary Critics?” The collection presents exuberant and timeless tales for children rich in fantasy and deeply rooted in the lost cultural tradition of his native Poland. A number of the stories appear in book form for the first time – and all have been translated from the Yiddish with the author’s personal supervision.
