In this provocative series of essays, he advocates for Yiddish as a unique symbol of spiritual power in the face of adversity, a symbol forged during centuries of Jewish exile. Diaspora assimilation may continue apace, while a Hebrew-speaking homeland grows in population, and yet Yiddish remains inseparable from Jewishness-because, Singer writes, "what Yiddish has created can never be lost." In a lucid translation by David Stromberg, who also provides thoughtful introductions to each piece, Singer's prose is captured in all its persuasive verve and precision. From his central theme of Yiddish as the animating pulse of Jewish life, Singer shines a light on the gravest threats to wider civilized society. He warns against the dilution of art as a conduit of moral truth; underscores the importance, and difficulty, of seeing people as individuals rather than a faceless horde; and unmasks extremist movements-religious and secular-as "expressions of human folly." A fiery love letter to Yiddish, alive with psychological nuance and startling insight, this volume confirms Singer as not only a profound philosopher of human nature, but a social critic for the ages" [Verlag]Isaac Bashevis Singer ; translated and edited by David Stromberg9798998779824202693136699377112337506441HT031516259Writings on Yiddish and YiddishkaytHT03034027814031087100Online-Ausgabe (Ebook)979899877983149HBZ_DUE3rda26062520260917145024.0154216601gerWritings on Yiddish and YiddishkaytHT030340278 https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3D154216601+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1403107 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1403107/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1403107 https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3DHT030340278+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1403108 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1403108/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1403108
