Stretching back to 'The Jew from Babylon,' a story first published in 1932, & gathering tales such as 'Brother Beetle' & 'There are No Coincidences' from the 1960s, the works collected in this LOA volume, the 3rd of 3, serve as a retrospective view of Singer?s achievement as a storyteller. 'Collected Stories: One Night in Brazil to The Death of Methuselah' also contains 10 stories published in English translation for the first time, selected from the extensive collection of Singer's papers at the University of Texas. Ranging from 'Between Shadows,' an evocative, naturalistic sketch set in Warsaw, to the bittersweet melodrama 'Morris and Timma,' to the beguiling fable 'Hershele and Hanele, or The Power of a Dream.' These stories enrich our understanding of Singer as a writer. The volume also includes 'The Bird,' 'My Adventures as an Idealist,' and 'Exes,' stories published in magazines that were not included in any of Singer's collections. Complementing the 78 stories gathered here is the introduction to 'Gifts' (1985), a version of a lecture Singer had delivered since the early 1960s?sometimes called 'Why I Write as I Do'?which illuminates his biography, philosophical outlook, & literary aims. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER emigrated to New York from Poland in 1935 & found work w/ the Jewish Daily Forward.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In the wake of his receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978, Isaac Bashevis Singer published several volumes of short stories in collections that mingled recent work with previously untranslated stories written in Yiddish decades earlier. Stretching back to "The Jew from Babylon," a story first published in 1932, and gathering tales such as "Brother Beetle" and "There are No Coincidences" from the 1960s, the works collected in this Library of America volume, the third of three, serve as a retrospective view of Singer's achievement as a storyteller.

Ranging from "Between Shadows," an evocative, naturalistic sketch set in Warsaw, to the bittersweet melodrama "Morris and Timma," to the beguiling fable "Hershele and Hanele, or The Power of a Dream." These stories enrich our understanding of Singer as a writer. The volume also includes "The Bird," "My Adventures as an Idealist," "and "Exes," stories published in magazines that were not included in any of Singer's collections. Complementing the seventy-eight stories gathered here is the introduction to Gifts (1985), a version of a lecture Singer had delivered since the early 1960s--sometimes called "Why I Write as I Do"--which illuminates his biography, philosophical outlook, and literary aims. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries. To mark the centennial of the birth of Isaac Bashevis Singer, The Library of America presents Collected Stories, a major celebration of Singer's achievement. Beginning with Gimpel the Fool, whose title story brought Singer to sudden prominence in America when translated by Saul Bellow in 1953, and concluding with The Death of Methuselah, the collection published three years before his death in 1991, this three-volume edition brings together for the first time all the story collections Singer published in English in the versions he called his "second originals"—translations he supervised and collaborated on, revising as he worked. In addition, Collected Stories includes previously uncollected or unpublished stories from his manuscripts in the Ransom Center collections, providing a rare glimpse into the workshop of a literary genius. Here are nearly 200 stories—the full range of Singer's vision—encompassing Old World shtetl and New World exile. Born in Poland in 1904 into a family of rabbis, Singer was raised in a traditional culture that perished at the hands of the Nazis during the Second World War, and his haunting stories testify to the richness of that vanished world. Singer's Old World tales reveal a wild, mischievous, often disturbing supernaturalism evocative of local storytelling traditions. After his immigration to America, Singer's stories increasingly explore the daily lived reality and imaginative boundaries of Jewish culture as it was transplanted to the United States, revealing him to be the emblematic immigrant American writer, a writer whose vision and insights enlarged our idea of what it is to be an American.
