Er bringt es rasch zu Reichtum und Ansehen, und es geht nicht nur ihm gut, sondern der ganzen jüdischen Gemeinde in Jampol.

Encyclopedia

Singer, Isaac Bashevis Pronunciation Key Singer, Isaac Bashevis , American novelist and short-story writer in the Yiddish language, younger brother of I. J. Singer , b. Poland. He emigrated to the United States in 1935 and worked in New York City as a journalist on the Jewish Daily Forward. In 1943 he became an American citizen. Singer's work, often frankly sexual, draws heavily on Jewish folklore, religion, and mysticism. Though he wrote in Yiddish, he was fluent in English and closely supervised the English translations of his works. In 1978 he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first Yiddish-language author to be so honored. Many of his later works treat the loneliness of old age and the sense of alienation produced in Jews by the dissolution of values through assimilation with the Gentile world. His novels include The Family Moskat (tr. 1950), Satan in Goray (tr. 1955), The Manor (tr. 1967), Enemies (tr. 1972), Shasha (tr. 1978), The Penitent (tr. 1983), Scum (tr. 1991), and the posthumously published Shadows on the Hudson (tr. 1997). Singer is also highly regarded for his imaginative, perceptive, and witty short stories. Collections include

LA COMUNIDAD JUDÍA EN LA OBRA DE ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER Francisco Rodríguez Criado Falta un año para el centenario del nacimiento de Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904-1991) y poco o nada se habla de él en los ambientes culturales de nuestro país. Su índice de popularidad es tan bajo que prácticamente nadie frecuenta hoy su obra, desconocida para muchos. Los editores Fue en las estanterías de una librería de viejo donde di una tarde con La casa de Jampol Trópicos lo que me animó a comprar no sólo ese libro sino todos los que allí había de su autoría, a saber: Shosha La familia Moskat El mago de Lublin y Krochmalna nº10 . De esta forma tan azarosa, y a un precio ridículo, se me abrieron las puertas de uno de los escritores más importantes y más injustamente olvidados del pasado siglo. He mencionado una y otra vez su nombre en conversaciones con amigos lectores, intentando no sólo compartir mi afecto por Singer sino también recabar datos biográficos, ésos que tanto gustan a los letraheridos. El éxito ha sido escaso: confesaron no ser lectores de Singer. Los más avispados mencionaron Sombras sobre Hudson (Ediciones B, 2000)

The Hidden Isaac Bashevis Singer
Table of Contents and Excerpt
Edited by Seth Wolitz
"I can't think of another anthology, nor of any individual study of Singer, that sets out so rich and varied a sense of his work in its contexts." Nobel Prize-winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer stands virtually alone among prominent writers for being more widely known through translations of his work than through the original texts. Yet readers and critics of the Yiddish originals have long pointed out that the English versions are generally shortened, often shorn of much description and religious matter, and their perspectives and denouements are significantly altered. In short, they turn the Yiddish author into a Jewish-American English writer, detached from of his Eastern European Jewish literary and cultural roots. By contrast, this collection of essays by leading Yiddish scholars seeks to recover the authentic voice and vision of the writer known to his Yiddish readers as Yitskhok Bashevis. The essays are grouped around four themes:
  • The Yiddish language and the Yiddish cultural experience in Bashevis's writings Thematic approaches to the study of Bashevis's literature Bashevis's interface with other times and cultures Interpretations of Bashevis's autobiographical writings
A special feature of this volume is the inclusion of Joseph Sherman's new, faithful translation of a chapter from Bashevis's Yiddish "underworld" novel

    Jewish / Young Adult - (1/2) Singer, Isaac Bashevis. The Golem . New York: Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1982. This book, published in 1982 but is based upon an ancient Jewish fable, originated as a warning to those who would oppose Judaism as a lifestyle in any way. From the traditions of the Masada occupation, the image of the unrelenting Jewish resistance was born. This modern retelling by the 1978 Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer (I.B.S.) is a literary example of interpretation shaped by experience. The author draws upon traditions emanating from the Czech Republic city of Prague. He invokes memories of his own experiences from his birth in 1904 in the village of Radzymin, Poland. I.B.S. later immigrated to the United States in 1935. Reared in a Yiddish-speaking Jewish ghetto, his father was a Hassidic Rabbi, and both of his grandfathers were religious leaders as well. Thus, when a background of moral structure becomes evident within the plots of Singer's writing, it is thought his personal encounters within the Jewish experience are being recounted. I learned of this book in the reference resource Twentieth Century Children's Writers. In researching Singer, I learned how influential this writer has been on the international cultural literary collection. Singer was a Newberry Honor Book Award winner in 1967, 1968, and 1969. Singer was awarded the New York Times Outstanding Book Citation, Horn Book Citation, Parent's Choice Award, as well as the ALA Notable Book Citation for this 1982 book.
