Shmuel Josef Agnon - Nobel laureate, one of the most significant and mysterious writers of the twentieth century, who wrote in an ancient and young language and in his work inextricably linked the past, present and future. Multiple worlds and immense times, in which inescapable suffering and inexhaustible joy lurk is the space and time of its short stories and novels. History and modernity, an instant and eternity, earthly and heavenly, the exile turn into a single deliverance and the hero, and the hero, leaving the Jerusalem house, appear to be a single whole. Agnon connects the incompatible - orthodox Jewry and Europe, Berlin with Buchach and Jerusalem, medieval exegetics with a modernist novel, but the world described by him is deprived of inner harmony. An insurmountable crack separates a person from God, shares friends and lovers. But although human loneliness is infinite, the hope of the upcoming restoration of the integrity of the broken world does not run out.
