The book includes stories by Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904–1991), representing the writer’s work over many years. These works are varied in plot and theme, many of them are devoted to describing those aspects of Jewish life that have become a thing of the past and are now unknown to us. These direct and sincere stories perfectly confirm the status of an incomparable storyteller and stylist, which I. B. Singer was endowed with unanimous critical acclaim.
