Book Tips - Isaac Bashevis Singer

I adored this novel for its great metaphysical depth which in a sense invoke the splendid novels of Dostoievsky for the subtlety of the prose, and the exquisite narrative talent of the author.

I read and reread the whole work of Isaac B. Singer, I loved every sentence of it. I chose 'Shosha' as the favourite book only because it was the first I read, the one which opened the door to this magical, unique, peerless work, the one which started a neverending love story between those books and me. I have several "favourite" writers, Virginia Woolf, John Steinbeck, Albert Camus and others, but Singer is not in this category. I created a special one for him and him only, since all his philosophical, religious, ethical questions perfectly match my own. And his humour. Life is such a tragedy, we couldn't stand it without irony and humour. I feel myself expressed through his words, and in such a beautiful style!

It turned my beliefs in life upside-down, topsy turvy. The world was never the same after 'Shosha'. Unique yet universal.

Oustanding Saga!

I'm not able to tell how much I love this novel like all novels written by Singer because of my poor English. I live a few kilometers from Lublin and not far from other places in Poland which you can find in his books. Singer is the best writer I ever read, the best story teller. Because of the war places and people form his books don't excist any more but the typical hero form his novel man who is looking for his happines in love, philosophy, passions, knowledge never die. I want to tell also that tere is some mistake in Singer biography on the side he was born in Leoncin not in Radzymin where he moved with his family when he was three years old.
/Ewa Zielińska, Poland

It's a passionate and profound telling of a story tainted with conflict, discrimination, love, and so many other natural human defects that spice up life- and with it, this beautifully written Bashevis Singer novel
/Antonia Urrutia, Chile

Because it is about love beyond religion and conventionality.
/Angelica Apesteguia, Spain

Allegorical stories told to children have always been personal favorites. I like that the story is meant for children but translates to any age and that it is told from a cultural perspective different than my own is absolutely fascinating.
