Produktbeschreibung

During the post-Holocaust period, Isaac Bashevis Singer's artistic vision underwent a total transformation. Writing for the Yiddish daily Forverts in New York, with the Cold War and McCarthyism gripping American hearts and minds, Singer dove deep into his cultural and spiritual heritage in a search for moral and social principles that could be used to build a viable Jewish future. Some of the issues that Singer raises in this collection are not only prescient-- they are more urgent in our day than they were in his.
