    Extractions: HUTCHINSON ENCYCLOPEDIA Singer, Isaac Bashevis Polish-born US novelist and short-story writer. He lived in the USA from 1935. His works, written in Yiddish, often portray traditional Jewish life in Poland and the USA, and the loneliness of old age. They include The Family Moskat (1950) and Gimpel the Fool and Other Stories (1957). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978. Written in an often magical storytelling style, his works combine a deep psychological insight with dramatic and visual impact.

    Extractions: Illustration by Art Seiden by Seymour "Sy" Brody The crowning moment in Isaac Bashevis Singer's life was when he received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1978. This recognition of Singer's writings also glorified the beauty and power of the Yiddish language. Born in Radzymin, Poland, on July 14, 1904, in a long lineage of rabbis, Singer was one of four children. His parents were Rabbi Pincus Menachem and Bathsheba (Zylberman). Singer's young life in the Jewish shtetls of Poland was steeped in Hassidism. He was educated in the Jewish schools and at one time he was enrolled in a rabbinical seminary. When he was four, his family moved to Warsaw where his father, a Hassidic scholar, established a Beth Din (rabbinical court). In 1917, Singer moved with his mother to his maternal grandmother, who lived in a small town. Here he learned about Jewish life in the shtetl, which would become a topic for his short stories and novels. In the early 1920s, Singer went to Warsaw to join his older brother, Israel Joseph, who was to write such works as

    Extractions: Megjelent a Vegetáriusban. "Sokan azt mondják, hogy az emberek a múltban mindvégig ettek állatokat, mintha ez igazolná ezt a gyakorlatukat. E logika szerint nem kell az embereket a gyilkolás megállítására oktatni, hiszen ez is egyik legkorábbi gyakorlatunk." Isaac Bashevis Singer 1904 július 14-én született a lengyelországi Radzyminban, majd a fasizmus elöl 1935-ben az Egyesült Államokba emigrált. A jiddis író mérhetetlenül sokat tett a vegetárizmus elterjesztéséért. Bár õ maga sohasem írta le táplálkozási tapasztalatait, regényeiben mindig az erõszakmentesség mellett érvelt és ezt az elvet az étkezésre is kiterjesztette. Írásai jellemzõen elbeszélõ mûvek, életszenvedéllyel és a tradíciók feletti kesergéssel töltve. 1978-ban ?szenvedélyes, elbeszélõ mûvészetéért" irodalmi Nobel-díjat kapott. Singer már gyermekkorában meg akarta változtatni étkezési szokásait, ámde szülei ezt nem hagyták. Apja, aki rabbi volt, indokolatlannak, vallástalannak, mi több erkölcstelennek találta fia lelkiismeret furdalását az állatok mészárlása miatt. Az ifjú Singert nem gyõzték meg apja szavai, de felismerte, hogy tiltakozása most még eredménytelen lenne. Apja érvelését, miszerint senki sem lehet könyörületesebb mint Isten, Mészáros címû mûvében késõbb fel is használta. Korai feleszmélése ellenére Singer csak 1962-ben vált valóban vegetáriussá, mikor egy nap hazatérve papagáját holtan találta. Kedvence elvesztése mélyen megindította és arra a felismerésre késztette, hogy elpusztult madara feletti szomorúsága következetlen és önzõ viselkedés, hiszen ugyanakkor sok-sok más állat szenvedéséért és ok nélküli haláláért volt felelõs, azokért amelyeket élete során elfogyasztott. Késõbb, mikor arra emlékezett, hogy meglehetõsen késõn váltott a növényi táplálkozásra megjegyezte: "Természetesen nagyon sajnálom, hogy ilyen sokáig vártam, de jobb késõbb mint soha."

    Extractions: In their despair a number of those who no longer have confidence in the leadership of our society look up to the writer, the master of words. They hope against hope that the man of talent and sensitivity can perhaps rescue civilization. Maybe there is a spark of the prophet in the artist after all. As the son of a people who received the worst blows that human madness can inflict, I must brood about the forthcoming dangers. I have many times resigned myself to never finding a true way out. But a new hope always emerges telling me that it is not yet too late for all of us to take stock and make a decision. I was brought up to believe in free will. Although I came to doubt all revelation, I can never accept the idea that the Universe is a physical or chemical accident, a result of blind evolution. Even though I learned to recognize the lies, the clichés and the idolatries of the human mind, I still cling to some truths which I think all of us might accept some day. There must be a way for man to attain all possible pleasures, all the powers and knowledge that nature can grant him, and still serve Goda God who speaks in deeds, not in words, and whose vocabulary is the Cosmos. I am not ashamed to admit that I belong to those who fantasize that literature is capable of bringing new horizons and new perspectives - philosophical, religious, aesthetical and even social. In the history of old Jewish literature there was never any basic difference between the poet and the prophet. Our ancient poetry often became law and a way of life.

    Extractions: Written by Isaac Bashevis Singer Rumor has it that when Isaac Bashevis Singer was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978, the only Yiddish writer to receive this honor, some Yiddish writers were jealous of his success. A group of such disgruntled writers, meeting at a public library, questioned why Singer was chosen when so many other fine Yiddish writers never gained a following in translation. "What about Y. L. Peretz?" they complained, going through the list of Yiddish greats. To quiet them down, the librarian explained that the Nobel Prize is only awarded to living authors. "Antisemites," one man grumbled.* The fact is that I. B. Singer's fiction works in any language because it deals with essential facets of human naturethe search for faith, for love, and for home in a crumbling world. Growing up in Warsaw, the son of a Chasidic rabbi, Singer first became fascinated with people's stories at his father's rabbinical court. (His memoir, In My Father's Court

    Extractions: Description When Isaac Bashevis Singer emigrated from Poland to America in 1935, he left behind his wife and five-year-old son, Israel, with the promise to send for them as soon as he got settled. He never did. Mother and child moved first to the USSR and ultimately to Israel, where Zamir grew up on a kibbutz. In 1995, twenty years after their separation, Zamir came to New York to meet his father. Apart from the obvious emotional hurdle both had to overcome, many things divided the two men: their culture, philosophy, politics, beliefs. Despite an awkward beginning, Singer and Zamir managed to bridge the gap, and over the years the two went on to enjoy a mature relationship. Zamir traveled frequently to New York, both as representative of his kibbutz’s youth movement and to visit his father, and Singer often visited Israel and was with his son in Tel Aviv during the Yom Kippur war. Gradually their mutual trust grew, and Singer came to rely on his son, also a writer, to translate many of his works into Hebrew. Father and son were both present in Stockholm when Singer was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1978. Singer’s strengths and failings, his methods of working, his passion for the Yiddish language, his lust for words, for women, and for life, all come to new light in Zamir’s touching and candid account.

    Extractions: Closed September 28, 1997 (most recent revival) Shlemiel has found his way home once again! Since its world premiere in Cambridge before sold-out houses in 1994, Shlemiel the First has delighted audiences in New York ( Lincoln Center ), San Francisco ( American Conservatory Theatre ), Philadelphia, Stamford, and several cities in Florida. This charming and hilarious musical fuses the folk tales of Nobel Prize-winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer with original Klezmer music and lyrics. The story centers around a beadle from the town of Chelm, who is sent out into the world by the town's "wise" elders to spread their "wisdom." A rascal turns Shlemiel around on the road, and as he returns to Chelm he is convinced he's found another town exactly like his home! Soon he's guiltily falling in love with a woman who looks just like his own wife. Confusion and mayhem ensue, until all is finally resolved in a climax of merriment, song, and reconciliation.

    Extractions: Isaac Bashevis Singer I. B. Singer est devenu végétarien au milieu des années soixante pour des raisons éthiques, mais il aimait affirmer que les motifs de son choix étaient liés à la santé, "mais à la santé des animaux !" précisait-il. Dans beaucoup de ses récits, il traite de thèmes végétariens - insérés dans des contextes réalistes et riches de sens - comme dans " Ennemis, une histoire d'amour " dans lequel nous trouvons un rendu efficace des sensations éprouvées par le protagoniste devant la violence : " (.) Bien que Herman ait souvent assisté à l'abattage d'animaux et de poissons, il avait toujours la même pensée : dans leur comportement envers les autres créatures, tous les hommes sont des nazis. L'arrogance avec laquelle l'homme traite les autres espèces pour son propre plaisir se rapproche des théories racistes les plus extrêmes : le principe selon lequel la force satisfait la justice. " A propos des motifs qui conduisent les gens à devenir végétariens, dans un bref essai introductif à "Vegetarianism, a way of life" de Dudley Giehl, l'écrivain recourt à un parallèle plutôt vigoureux : " (.) Bien que le nombre de suicides soit assez faible, rares sont ceux qui n'y ont jamais pensé. C'est la même chose pour le végétarisme : en effet, il y a peu de gens qui n'ont jamais considéré le meurtre des animaux comme un véritable assassinat, mais rares sont ceux qui pensent réellement à l'éviter.

77. Wolitz: The Hidden Isaac Bashevis Singer
    http://www.utexas.edu/utpress/books/wolhid.html
    
    Extractions: Nobel Prize-winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer stands virtually alone among prominent writers for being more widely known through translations of his work than through the original texts. Yet readers and critics of the Yiddish originals have long pointed out that the English versions are generally shortened, often shorn of much description and religious matter, and their perspectives and denouements are significantly altered. In short, they turn the Yiddish author into a Jewish-American English writer, detached from of his Eastern European Jewish literary and cultural roots. By contrast, this collection of essays by leading Yiddish scholars seeks to recover the authentic voice and vision of the writer known to his Yiddish readers as Yitskhok Bashevis. The essays are grouped around four themes: A special feature of this volume is the inclusion of Joseph Sherman's new, faithful translation of a chapter from Bashevis's Yiddish "underworld" novel

    Extractions: contents page An international conference on Isaac Bashevis Singer, the Nobel Prize winning writer of novels, short stories and essays in Yiddish, will be held Feb. 28 at UT Austin. The Singer conference is free and the public is welcome to attend. Conference participants include scholars of Yiddish literature and leading experts on Singer's works from South Africa, Israel, Poland, France, England and Canada. This is the largest conference of Yiddish scholars and experts on Singer held anywhere. Lectures will be in English. The conference is titled "The Real Bashevis and His Creation: I.B. Singer." Dr. Seth Wolitz, the Gale Chair Professor of Jewish Studies, said the conference "is one of the most historical gatherings of Yiddish specialists in the world. Certainly, it is the first time that Austin and the University have presented such a gathering devoted to Yiddish literature and culture." The conference opens at 9 a.m. in the Tom Lea Room on the third floor of the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, moving at 2 p.m. (to 6 p.m.) to the fourth floor auditorium. The center, which is home to the largest collection of Singer manuscripts in the world, is located at the northeast corner of Guadalupe and 21st streets. Parking is available at the Dobie parking garage at 21st and Whitis.

    Extractions: A quarter of a century after Isaac Bashevis Singer was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature it is time to take stock of his achievement. Penetrating studies of his fictional and autobiographical works by leading scholars in the field reveal that for all the acclaim he has received on the basis of the English versions of his works, no adequate evaluation of Bashevis's significance can be made without careful examination of the original Yiddish texts. Critical readings assess inter alia his themes and motifs, the impact of Kabbalah on his work, reflections of society in his original Polish homeland as well as his place within the context of contemporary Jewish American letters and the canon of modern Yiddish and Hebrew writing. Hugh Denman is Ben-Zion Margulies Lecturer in Yiddish Studies, University College London, and author of numerous articles on Yiddish language and literature in scholarly journals and entries in standard reference works. He is also a Guest Professor at the Universities of Venice, Innsbruck, Budapest and Cracow.
