   Extractions: Release Date: Customer Reviews: Excellent in Translation I have read the English translation, and love it. Agnon's mystical surrealism is worthy of Garcia-Marquez. While being versed in Jewish traditions can be helpful, it is not necessary for appreciating this brilliant writer. The hebrew Shakespear Ye, I know it sounds over-bombastic. Still, I quite stand behind this. Agnon has the quality (like the bard) of writing one sentence or a few words within, that tell a whole story in a bang. Every now and again you stop over a phrase that seems obscure, you think a bit, and often enough, it's revelation. It causes you to regret all the previous, skipped, pharagraph that you only half fathomed. I must worn you though, that I can't recommend the english translation (not having read it translated).

One of the central figures in modern Hebrew fiction, Agnon was born in Galicia, later immigrated as a Zionist to Israel , and died in Jerusalem Agnon, called by many "a man of unquestionable genius" and "one of the great storytellers of our time," is one of the most widely translated Hebrew authors. His stories dealt with the most important psychological and philosophical problems of his generation. Generations of writers have been influenced by his unique style and language. An observant Jew throughout most of his life, Agnon was said to be able to capture "the hopelessness and spiritual desolation" of a world standing on the threshold of a new age. He was praised for his "peculiar tenderness and beauty," for his "comic mastery" and for the "richness and depth" of his writing. His contribution to the renewal of the language contributed greatly to all subsequent Hebrew writing.

Feb. 17, 1970, Jerusalem, Israel), Israeli writer, one of the greatest modern Hebrew novelists and short-story writers, and, in 1966, recipient, with Nelly Sachs, of the Nobel Prize for Literature. Born of a family of Polish Jewish merchants, rabbis, and scholars, he wrote at first (1903-06) in Yiddish and Hebrew, under his own name and various pseudonyms; but, soon after settling in Palestine in 1907, he took the surname Agnon and chose the language of the Bible in which to unfold his dramatic, visionary, highly polished narratives. Agnon's real literary debut was made with Agunot (1908; "Forsaken Wives"), his first "Palestinian" story. His first major work was the novel Hakhnasat kalah, 2 vol. (1919; The Bridal Canopy ). Its hero, Reb Yudel Hasid, is the embodiment of every wandering, drifting Jew in the ghettos of the tsarist and Austro-Hungarian empires. His second novel, Ore'ah Nata' Lalun A Guest for the Night ), describes the material and moral decay of European Jewry after World War I; in 1950 it was awarded the Bialik Prize. His third and perhaps greatest novel

    Extractions: In 1913, Agnon left Israel for Germany where he remained for 11 years. Zionist young people liked his combination of traditional and modern ways of writing. In Germany Agnon met the wealthy businessman Salman Schocken, who became his admirer, supporter, and publisher. Free from financial worries Agnon lived comfortably, wrote much, and collected rare and valuable Hebrew books. This happy period ended in 1924 when a fire swept his home and destroyed most of his books and manuscripts. In the same year, Agnon settled again in Jerusalem, but again his valuable library was destroyed, this time when his home was plundered during the Arab riots of 1929. In 1931, he became recognized as one of the central figures of modern Hebrew literature when he published the first edition of his collected works, including the folk-epic The Bridal Canopy, considered to be a cornerstone of modern Hebrew literature. Running through his stories is the ever-recurring conflict between old and new, and many of his stories have a nightmarish quality, as they leave the reader wondering what is real and what is fantasy. Characters talk to themselves in an attempt to understand themselves and their puzzling surroundings. In A Guest for the Night, an anonymous narrator visits his town in Galicia after an absence of many years, and witnesses its desolation. The factual core of this story was Agnon's own visit to his native town of Buczacz in 1930. Although the novel mirrors the hopelessness of the Jewish world during this time, Agnon even in his youth had called Buczacz a "city of the dead."
