Isaac B. Singer Livres

Voici qu'une fois de plus que débarque sous la plume du magicien Isaac Bashevis Singer une troupe turbulente et haute en couleurs, composée d'étudiants, d'amoureux, de démons, d'acrobates, de poètes, de rabbins et quelques autres venus nous raconter de fantastiques histoires. Ainsi, Shoshe et son mari Shmule-Leibele qui s'aimaient tant et qui moururent - peut-être était-ce de bonheur - un soir de shabbat à Taibele. Et Yentl, un des plus célèbres personnages de Singer, Yentl qui était née femme mais qui avait l'âme d'un homme. Un jour, elle se coupa les cheveux, s'habilla en étudiant et s'en alla vivre dans une yeshiva.

Isaac Bashevis Singer’s first collection of stories, Gimpel the Fool, is a landmark work that has attracted international acclaim since it was first published in 1957. In Saul Bellow’s masterly translation, the title story follows the exploits of Gimpel, an ingenuous baker who is universally deceived but who declines to retaliate against his tormentors. Gimpel and the protagonists of the other stories in this volume all inhabit the distinctive pre–World War II ghettos of Poland and, beyond that, the larger world created by Singer’s unforgettable prose.

Like Isaac Bashevis Singer's fiction, this poignant memoir of his childhood in the household and rabbinical court of his father is full of spirits and demons, washerwomen and rabbis, beggars and rich men. This rememberance of Singer's pious father, his rational yet adoring mother, and the never-ending parade of humanity that marched through their home is a portrait of a magnificent writer's childhood self and of the world, now gone, that formed him.
