Más información sobre el libro
Beautiful stories from the new and old worlds, infused with autobiographical elements. "Everything can become a passion," states the title story, and the protagonists of Isaac B. Singer provide ample evidence of this. This collection gathers tales of Jewish destinies in both the new and old worlds, focusing on individuals filled with fears and hopes. The Dibbuk often plays a crucial role, predominantly possessing female characters and transforming them into the obsessed. "The longer I live among them [the Jews of Eastern Europe] and write about them, the greater my astonishment at the diversity of their personalities and, as I am one of them, at my own whims and passions. And while I hope for their redemption and resurrection, I dare to say that for me all these people are still alive. In literature, as in our dreams, there is no death." Isaac B. Singer
