Isaac Bashevis Singer, winner of the Nobel Prize in 1978, was perhaps the greatest Yiddish writer of the 20th century, a profoundly important voice in world literature, and an invaluable witness to the vanishing culture of Eastern European Jews. He was also a consummate storyteller. In such short stories as Gimpel the Fool , Short Friday , and Yentl , and such acclaimed novels as The Family Moskat and Enemies, A Love Story , Singer combined a subtle psychological insight, deep sympathy for the eccentricities of Jewish folk custom, and an unerring feel for the heroism of everyday life. In doing so, he brought before the English-speaking world the vibrant milieu of pre-Holocaust Polish Jewry and provided an insight into human character and culture.
