Earning his living as a columnist for the Yiddish newspaper Forverts (The Jewish Daily Forward), he had risen from nearly complete anonymity outside of his Yiddish readership to international celebrity as ?the last of the great Yiddish fiction writers,? as Anzia Yzierska once called him. Awarded prizes, fêted in the U.S. & abroad, eagerly sought for lectures & interviews, he had brought about this remarkable transformation primarily though the translation of his stories. Often collaborating w/ his translators, Singer intended the English version of his stories to be regarded not as diminished approximations of his Yiddish stories but as works shaped by the author in the language of his adopted homeland. The 65 stories in 'Collected Stories: A Friend of Kafka to Passions'?the 2nd of 3 volumes?reflect Singer's origins in Poland & his long exile in America. Although he continued to write tales drawing on Jewish folk traditions & supernaturalism, many of his stories from the late 1960s & early 1970s take place in the United States, as Singer explored the psychic devastation wrought by the Nazi genocide on Holocaust survivors ('The Cafeteria'), evoked the fragility of transplanted forms of Jewish life & belief ('The Cabalist of East Broadway'), & reflected on the spiritual hazards of worldly success in America ('Old Love'). Stories such as 'A Day in Coney Island,' 'A Tutor in the Village,' & 'The Son'?based on Singer's reunion w/ his son Israel Zamir after a 20-yr separation?show Singer blurring the line between autobiography & fiction, a tendency that marks much of his later writing. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER emigrated to New York from Poland in 1935 & found work w/ the Jewish Daily Forward. Author of many novels, collections of short stories, & books for children, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: ILAN STAVANS is Lewis-Sebring Professor in Latin American & Latino Culture at Amherst College & the author or editor of numerous books. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. 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. To mark the centennial of the birth of Isaac Bashevis Singer, The Library of America presents a major celebration of Singer's achievement, beginning with "Gimpel the Fool" and concluding with "The Death of Methuselah."
