Isaac Bashevis Zinger is a recognized classic of Jewish and world literature, one of the most striking representatives of modernist prose in Yiddish. His elder brother Isroel-ieshua Zinger, although it is somewhat less known to the wide reader, is not inferior to Bashevis as a novelist. Of course, it was the personality and work of Isroela Eylashua that inspired his younger brother to become a writer. The third author from the Zinger family is Esther Kreitman, the sister of Yeshua and Bashevis. She is known less than her brothers, Esther"s works are translated into several languages, but the Russian reader is still not familiar with them. The book of Clive Sinclair is a detailed study of the life and work of the Zinger brothers and sisters. Sinclair compares their novels and memoirs - both in terms of structure and stylistics, and in terms of copyright views and aspirations expressed in a particular work. Based on the memoirs of all three authors, Sinclair recreates the atmosphere that prevailed in the Zinger family, and reflects on how, thanks to - and at the same time, contrary to this atmosphere, they formed as writers
