Israeli writer Shmuel Josef Agnon (1888-1970) - Nobel Laureate in 1966 literature. The novels and stories included in this book are first published in Russian and cover the whole creative path of the writer.
Agnon"s prose is a kind of Palimpsest, on which, under the text of a modern, tormenting existential issues of the author, lines of centuries -old Jewish writing come in now and then. Agnon avoids uniqueness in the interpretation of plots and images, often depriving the reader of the rational support in the garden of the branching paths of the past and the present. A detailed historical and cultural commentary explains the details of Jewish life and deciphers references to religious sources, enriching the reader"s perception with additional overtones
