The one saving grace is his love for his master's daughter, Wanda. They begin a secret affair, trying to avoid the cruelty of the other villagers, until one day Jacob's fortunes unexpectedly change. Now he must choose between his need to be with his people and his love for Wanda, who in turn will also discover the meaning of brutality. In The Slave, published in 1962, Isaac Bashevis Singer creates a dreamlike portrayal of isolation, rejection, love and the meaning of sacrifice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49505260372241,"sku":"GOR006928831","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49727499763985,"sku":"NGR9780141197623","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50745522520337,"sku":"GOR010449819","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51441285595409,"sku":"GOR010107959","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0141197625.jpg?v=1767351400"},{"product_id":"love-and-exile-book-isaac-bashevis-singer-9780224029827","title":"Love and Exile","description":"During his lifetime, the work of Isaac Bashevis Singer has attracted an enormous following and received universal critical acclaim, culminating on the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1978. His compelling stories and novels, which are steeped in the tradition of Polish-Jewish culture, are remarkable for their insight, humanity, wisdom and humour. Singer, now in his eightieth year, reveals these same qualities in a highly personal account of the formative period of his life in Poland and the United States. Love and Exile traces Singer's intellectual, artistic and emotional development over a period of thirty years. The author tells us in the introduction, 'The Beginning', that he can vividly remember the time when he was only three and growing up in the Orthodox atmosphere of his father's home where rational argument was very much a part of everyday life. It is clear from 'The Beginning' and the first section of the memoir, 'A Little Boy in Search of God', that Singer was an unusually intelligent child who read avidly and constantly questioned the tenets of the Jewish faith. His older brother, Joshua, encouraged him in his search for enlightenment and neither of them seems to have been overpowered by their father's position as a Rabbi. In this colourful portrait of his youth, we sense the tension in Singer's personality: he was spiritually rooted in the Middle Ages but also a heretic, fascinated by magic, spirits and dybbuks. Many of the thoughts he currently holds on God and literature originated from this phase of his life. He wished to transform the sentimental, rather ponderous tradition of Yiddish writing by injecting it with passion and a sense of reality. In 'A Young man in Search of Love, Singer describes the hand-to-mouth existence he led in Warsaw, where he hoped to establish himself as a writer. He creates a powerful impression of the political and artistic atmosphere of the period. He managed to survive on the meager earnings as a journalist and frequented the Writer's Club where he became involved in the highly-charged debates between Communists, Socialists and Fascists. The eager enthusiasm of the young Singer gave way to disillusion. He continued to pray and study, but lived like a libertine, anxious to experience the company of women and the pleasure of sex. In order to escape Nazis and emigrate to Palestine, he agreed to a marriage of convenience. His plans then foundered and 'Lost in America' reveals Singer at his most melancholy and confused. His father had died, Hitler was on the verge of obtaining power, and Singer's emotional life was in turmoil. Eventually he was granted permission to joint his brother, who was at this stage the more respected writer, in the United States. Instead of experiencing a sense of liberation, he suffered from feelings of alienation and doubt. It was a time of crisis when he appeared to drift, unable to derive comfort from his faith and having yet to find his voice as a writer. The memoir, set against a backcloth of great political upheaval in Europe, is characterized by a sense of urgency and personal discovery. Singer's recollections are so vividly evoked, his philosophical and religious analysis so lucidly expressed, the reader is on no doubt that this is a very special autobiography. Love and Exile is a fascinating exploration of the mind and development of one of the greatest mastres of fiction. It is written with humour and affection; it is always direct and accessible - and constantly entertaining.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49505677017361,"sku":"GOR002256759","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50331301544209,"sku":"GOR004615318","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51848138948881,"sku":"GOR004197633","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0224029827.jpg?v=1751037470"},{"product_id":"naftali-the-storyteller-and-his-horse-sus-and-other-stories-book-isaac-bashevis-singer-9780192714138","title":"Naftali the Storyteller and His Horse, Sus, and Other Stories","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49510541132049,"sku":"GOR012109249","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50272758825233,"sku":"GOR002067435","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0192714139.jpg?v=1751101004"},{"product_id":"manor-book-isaac-bashevis-singer-9780140186635","title":"The Manor","description":"This novel portrays the difficulties encountered by traditionalist Jews coming to terms with the social changes that rocked Poland in the late 19th century.

Papa and Mama are worried that they will have to give their beloved pet back, but then David and Zelda decide to get married after college, and everyone agrees that they should take Dreidel with them as they start their own family.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49539198976273,"sku":"GOR010400522","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49779840450833,"sku":"CIN0374300941G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50913667285265,"sku":"CIN0374300941VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52607730516241,"sku":"CIN0374300941A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0374300941.jpg?v=1750845544"},{"product_id":"shadows-on-the-hudson-book-isaac-bashevis-singer-9780374531225","title":"Shadows on the Hudson","description":"Traces the lives of a group of Jewish refugees in New York City in the late 1940s.

Expanding on themes reflected in his best-known work—including the literary arts, Yiddish and Jewish life, and mysticism and philosophy—the book illuminates in new ways the rich intellectual, aesthetic, religious, and biographical background of Singer’s singular achievement as the first Yiddish-language author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.  Like a modern Montaigne, Singer studied human nature and created a body of work that contributed to a deeper understanding of the human spirit. Much of his philosophical thought was funneled into his stories. Yet these essays, which Singer himself translated into English or oversaw the translation of, present his ideas in a new way, as universal reflections on the role of the artist in modern society. The unpublished essays featured here include “Old Truths and New Clichés,” “The Kabbalah and Modern Times,” and “A Trip to the Circus.”  Old Truths and New Clichés brims with stunning archival finds that will make a significant impact on how readers understand Singer and his work. Singer’s critical essays have long been overlooked because he has been thought of almost exclusively as a storyteller. This book offers an important correction to the record by further establishing Singer as a formidable intellectual.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49574403408145,"sku":"GOR012275253","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741016367377,"sku":"NGR9780691217635","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49782746513681,"sku":"CIN0691217637G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50325470052625,"sku":"CIN0691217637VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51005715841297,"sku":"NIN9780691217635","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51356405891345,"sku":"GOR014236233","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51357486383377,"sku":"GOR013296922","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0691217637.jpg?v=1750848013"},{"product_id":"scum-book-isaac-bashevis-singer-9780374255114","title":"Scum","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49575314391313,"sku":"GOR005720992","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50179844702481,"sku":"GOR010936409","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50329658261777,"sku":"CIN0374255113VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52103253786897,"sku":"CIN0374255113G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0374255113.jpg?v=1751228760"},{"product_id":"old-love-book-isaac-bashevis-singer-9780224018333","title":"Old Love","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49576372633873,"sku":"GOR002997667","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50272765739281,"sku":"GOR002589796","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0224018337.jpg?v=1750695396"},{"product_id":"zlateh-the-goat-book-isaac-bashevis-singer-9780064401470","title":"Zlateh the Goat","description":"\u003cp\u003eNobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer introduces readers to the village of Chelm in this Newbery Honor Book.

Since its beginnings in the 1950s the nouveau roman has posed a major challenge to the theory of the novel because its practitioners claimed to have jettisoned the mainstays of nineteenth-century fiction: plot, character and the representation of reality. Consequently the nouveau roman has tended to generate radical or even subversive theories of the novel which have little to contribute to our understanding of the main stream of the genre. In this study, Ann Jefferson reassesses the theoretical implications of the nouveau roman and the terms in which fiction is generally defined, in order to demonstrate that the nouveau roman, far from being anti-fiction, is both profoundly novelistic and extremely instructive about the nature of fiction in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49596445524241,"sku":"GOR002381714","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49853421945105,"sku":"CIN0385157568G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50351286845713,"sku":"CIN0385157568A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0385157568.jpg?v=1751103196"},{"product_id":"certificate-book-isaac-bashevis-singer-9780374529345","title":"The Certificate","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Bendiner, a young writer and secularized Jew, has qualified to emigrate from Warsaw to Palestine, but he's broke, and in order to make the journey, he must enter into a fictitious marriage with a prosperous woman eager to get there.
