Description: Isaac Bashevis Singer: The Collected Stories: A Library of America Three-Volume Boxed Set by Isaac Bashevis Singer Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Now in a deluxe boxed set, The Library of Americas three-volume collectors edition of the beloved Nobel Prize-winning writer and master storyteller. First pubished ten years ago to mark the centennial of the birth of Isaac Bashevis Singer, one of ten American writers to be awarded the Nobel Prize and perhaps the most influential and beloved Jewish American author, Isaac Bashevis Singer- The Collected Storiesis now reissued in a deluxe boxed set. Beginning with "Gimpel the Fool," whose title story brought Singer to prominence in America when translated from Yiddish by Saul Bellow in 1953, and concluding with "The Death of Methuselah," the collection published three years before his death in 1991, this three-volume edition brings together for the first time all the story collections Singer published in English in the versions he called his "second originals"-translations he supervised and collaborated on himself, revising as he worked. In addition, Collected Storiesincludes thirteen previously uncollected stories from the Ransom Center archives. Here are nearly 200 stories in all-the full range of Singers vision encompassing Old World shtetl and New World exile. Born in Poland in 1904 into a family of rabbis, Singer was raised in the traditional culture that was to be annihilated during World War II, and his haunting stories testify to the richness of that vanished world. Singers Old World stories reveal a wild, mischievous, often disturbing supernaturalism evocative of both local storytelling traditions and dark undercurrents born of Singers own concerns and obsessions. As a special feature, the boxed set also includes Isaac Bashevis Singer- An Album, a compact illustrated biography accompanied by appreciations of and anecdotes about Singer from some of todays leading writers, including Cynthia Ozick, Jonathan Safran Foer, Francine Prose, Nicholas Dawidoff, and Joyce Carol Oates, among others. Author Biography Isaac Bashevis Singer was one of the last great Yiddish authors and received world acclaim for his rich and haunting novels of Jewish life and folklore. In 1978, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was also the recipient of two National Book Awards and three Newbery Honor Awards. "Zlateh the Goat, " a 1967 Newbery Honor Book, was his first book for children.
