In the wake of his receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978, Isaac Bashevis Singer published several volumes of short stories in collections that mingled recent work with previously untranslated stories written in Yiddish decades earlier. Stretching back to "The Jew from Babylon," a story first published in 1932, and gathering tales such as "Brother Beetle" and "There are No Coincidences" from the 1960s, the works collected in this Library of America volume, the third of three, serve as a retrospective view of Singer's achievement as a storyteller. Collected Stories: One Night in Brazil to The Death of Methuselah also contains ten stories published in English translation for the first time, selected from the extensive collection of Singer's papers at the University of Texas. Ranging from "Between Shadows," an evocative, naturalistic sketch set in Warsaw, to the bittersweet melodrama "Morris and Timma," to the beguiling fable "Hershele and Hanele, or The Power of a Dream." These stories enrich our understanding of Singer as a writer. The volume also includes "The Bird," "My Adventures as an Idealist," and "Exes," stories published in magazines that were not included in any of Singer's collections. Complementing the seventy-eight stories gathered here is the introduction to Gifts (1985), a version of a lecture Singer had delivered since the early 1960s--sometimes called "Why I Write as I Do"--which illuminates his biography, philosophical outlook, and literary aims. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
Cuentos Isaac Bashevis Singer / The Collected Stories
Una antolog a de cuarenta y siete relatos seleccionados por el autor, el gran representante de la literatura yiddish, que incluye sus cuentos m s c lebres. «Me resulta dif cil decir por qu eleg los cuarenta y siete cuentos de esta colecci n, seleccionados entre m s de un centenar. Como le ocurrir a a un padre del Oriente contemplando su har n llenos de mujeres y ni os, los quiero a todos , comentaba Singer cuando dio a la imprenta este volumen. Raz n no le faltaba porque su universo literario es muy peculiar, casi privado, pero se convierte en universal en cuanto topamos con los deseos y las dudas infinitamente humanas de sus personajes. Desde la primera p gina, un abanico de tiempos y lugares se abre para el lector: veremos a hombres cansados que han conocido a Kafka y a Stefan Zweig deambular por los bares de Varsovia, pidiendo dinero prestado y dando consejos, a ancianos asomados a un balc n en Miami que de pronto despiertan a un nuevo amor, y a mujeres con las palabras atragantadas de tanto querer olvidar. Conoceremos las tierras de Polonia y sus campesinos, para luego caminar por las calles de Nueva York, y sin embargo, despu s de tanto viaje, lo que se va a quedar es el talento de Singer para contar ese destilado de melancol a y orgullo que nuestros propios exilios imponen porque, bien mirado, todos alg n d a tuvimos que irnos de la vida que era nuestra. «Todos jugamos al ajedrez con el destino como contrincante... Sabemos que no podemos ganar, pero algo nos impulsa a presentar batalla. -I.B. Singer En este volumen se recogen cuarenta y siete cuentos de la producci n del autor, elegidos por el propio Singer entre m s de un centenar de textos. El volumen re ne los relatos publicados en la cl sica recopilaci n Gimpel, el tonto de 1957, y los t tulos publicados hasta 1881.

Zlateh the Goat and Other Stories: A Newbery Honor Award Winner
Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer introduces readers to the village of Chelm in this Newbery Honor Book. Chelm is a village of fools. The most famous fools--the oldest and the greatest--are the seven Elders. But there are lesser fools too: a silly irresponsible bridegroom; four sisters who mix up their feed in bed one night; a young man who imagines himself dead. Here are seven magical folktales spun by a master storyteller, that speak of fools, devils, schlemiels, and even heroes--like Zlateh the goat.The New York Times called Zlateh the Goat and Other Stories, "beautiful stories for children, written by a master." The New York Book Review said, "This book is a triumph. If you have no older children on your list, buy it for yourself." Singer's extraordinary book of folklore is illustrated by Maurice Sendak, who won a Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are. Supports the Common Core State Standards

From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Isaac Bashevis Singer, comes a fictional exploration of primitive history. Singer's novel portrays an era of superstition and violence in a country emerging from the darkness of savagery. Set in Poland in the dark ages, it describes the brutality, prejudice and subjugation that occur when hunter-gatherers and farmers struggle for supremacy over the land. Part parable of modern civilization, part fascinating historical novel, this modern myth is a philosophical examination of man and his beliefs, and reaffirms the author's reputation as a master of narrative invention.
