Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.6 MB
Overview: Isaac Bashevis Singer (1903-1991) was a Polish-born Jewish-American author of short stories, novels, essays, cultural criticism, memoirs, and stories for children. His career spanned nearly seven decades of literary production, at the center of which was the translation of his work from Yiddish into English, which he undertook with various collaborators and editors. Singer published widely during his lifetime, with nearly sixty stories appearing in The New Yorker, and received numerous awards and prizes, including two Newberry Honor Book Awards (1968 & 1969), two National Book Awards (1970 & 1974) and the Nobel Prize for Literature (1978). Known for fiction that portrayed 19th-century Polish Jewry as well as supernatural tales that combined Jewish mysticism with demonology, Singer was a master storyteller whose sights were set squarely on the tension between human nature and the human spirit.

The Certificate
David Bendiner, a young writer and secularized Jew, has qualified to emigrate from Warsaw to Palestine, but he’s broke, and in order to make the journey, he must enter into a fictitious marriage with a prosperous woman eager to get there. Grappling with romantic, political, and philosophical turmoil, David must also confront his faith when his father, a rabbi, shows up in Warsaw.

The Golem
A clay giant miraculously brought to life by a saintly rabbi saves a Jewish banker who has been falsely accused in the Prague of Emperor Rudolf II.

Scum
Scum evokes the teeming life of 1906 Warsaw’s backstreets. Max Barabander, distraught over the recent death of his son, flees the life of wealth and respectability he has attained in Buenos Aires, returning to the poverty and shadows of his youth spent in Warsaw. He fears impotence, which leads him to the pursuit of mindless sex with five different women who view him only as an escape from their drab lives. Appearing serially in Yiddish in 1967, and published in translation the year he passed away, this impressive novel explores the changing of both mores and values.

Love and Exile
From pre-WWI Warsaw to the New York of the 1930s, Nobel Prize-winner Isaac Bashevis Singer traces the early years of his life in this autobiographical trilogy. In A Little Boy in Search of God, he remembers his bookish boyhood as the son of an Orthodox rabbi, equally absorbed in science, philosophy and kabbalah. Later, the pursuit of women came to obsess him almost as much as the pursuit of knowledge, and in A Young Man in Search of Love he chronicles the intricacies of his first love affairs. When he emigrated to the United States from Poland on the eve of the Second World War loneliness and depression overwhelmed him, and he relives those dark years in Lost in America. From beginning to end, Love and Exile sheds new light on Singer’s own life and the fictional lives mirrored in it—portraying the concomitant displacement of a Yiddish writer in a strange land.
