Yentl and other short stories

The most famous short stories from the Nobel Prize winner. Yentl, a young woman who defies tradition. In Singer's books, everyday life is interwoven with miracles, reality is woven from dreams, and the past mixes with the present moment. The short stories in this collection are just like that. Hasidic Jews, poor country folk, were close to mysticism, the supernatural, and the poetry of nature. Anyone expecting a factual, journalistic description will be disappointed. However, for those who do not mind a world where demons come to fornicate with beautiful widows, a dying man curses his wife, and a young girl so desires an education that she disguises herself as a boy to attend a yeshiva, a Jewish school, Singer's stories will strike the right chord. And all this happens during the celebration of Shabbat, on the way to the mikveh, and with the advice of wise rabbis.
