Product Description
Review
To hint at the scrupulous dazzle of S.Y. Agnon-complexity hidden in seeming innocence-one might name him the 'Flaubert of Hebrew letters'…. Agnon stands hugely out, permanently, under the canopy of Western literature. --Cynthia Ozick
S.Y. Agnon is the single modern master of Hebrew fiction, and this new collection gives American readers a rich sampling of the originality and complexity of his work. --Robert Alter
A brilliant collection… Agnon said, 'I write things simply as they are.' As simple as the Old Testament, written with a Kafkian-laced quill on burning parchment. --The New York Times Book Review

Agnon, A Book That was Lost
14 April 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent collection of Agnon's short stories. I found them fascinating. They give insight into Agnon's world. The included commentaries add to the value of the text.
