Forevermore & other stories

Description

This collection of S. Y. Agnon's short stories, published in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of his Nobel Prize in Literature, surveys the major theme in his writing: the epic transformations in the life of the Jewish people -- both in Europe and in the Land of Israel. In new and revised translations, these fully annotated stories bring to life the full gamut of the modern Jewish experience in fiction, and invite readers into the rich and brilliantly multifacted world of one of the great writers of the last century.
