When "Everyday Jews" was first published in Poland in 1935, the Jewish Left was scandalized by the sex scenes, and I B Singer complained that the novel was too bleak to be psychologically credible Yet within two years Perle's novel was heralded as a modern Yiddish masterpiece Offering a unique blend of raw sexuality and romantic love, оеоюп thwarted desire and spiritual longing, "Everyday Jews" is now considered Perle's consummate achievement The voice of Mendl, the novel's 12-year-old narrator, is precisely captured by this artfully simple translation Mendl's impoverished and dysfunctional family struggles to survive in a nameless Polish provincial town In his unsettled world, most ordinary people yearn to be somewhere else - or someone else As Mendl journeys to adulthood, Perle captures the complex interplay of Christians and Jews, weekdays and Sabbaths, town and country, dream and reality, against a relentless and never-ending battle of the sexes Автор Yehoshue Perle.  упакИздательство: Yale University Press, 2007 г Твердый переплет, 384 стр ISBN 0300116373 Язык: Английский.
