The Orange Peel and Other Satires [Paperback]
By: S.Y. Agnon
Product Description
In this new collection of political satires by Nobel laureate S.Y. Agnon we witness the satirist sharpening his pen like a carving knife, revealing his opinions from behind the mask of his art. Treating themes and events in the history of early twentieth-century Zionism, these stories continue to fascinate contemporary readers, questioning the degree to which a gap remains life and civic society in the modern State of Israel.
About the Author
S.Y. Agnon (1888-1970) was the central figure of modern Hebrew literature, and the 1966 Nobel Prize laureate for his body of writing, which constitutes a distillation of millenia of Jewish texts-- from the Bible through the Rabbinic codes to Chasidic storytelling-- recast into the mold of modern literature.
