Singer, Isaac Bashevis:. Satan in Goray. Author s Note.. Harmondsworth: Penguin Books, 1981.

Price: US$9.88 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: 158 (2) Seiten. 17,9 cm. Guter Zustand. Aus der Bibliothek der Gräfin Ledebur. Set in 17th century Poland, this is a novel of religious hysteria and violence. It relates the story of Goray, a small town laid waste by one of the worst pogroms in history. - Isaac Bashevis Singer (November 21, 1902 – July 24, 1991) was a Jewish American author noted for his short stories. He was one of the leading figures in the Yiddish literary movement, and received the Nobel Prize in literature in 1978. . Literary influences: Singer had many literary influences; besides the religious texts he studied there were the folktales he grew up with and worldly Yiddish detective-stories about "Max Spitzkopf" and his assistant "Fuchs"; there was Dostoyevsky, whose Crime and Punishment he read when he was fourteen; and he writes about the importance of the Yiddish translations donated in book-crates from America, which he studied as a teenager in Bilgoraj: "I read everything: Stories, novels, plays, essays I read Rejsen, Strindberg, Don Kaplanowitsch, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Maupassant and Chekhov." He studied many philosophers, among them Spinoza., Arthur Schopenhauer, and Otto Weininger. Among his Yiddish contemporaries Singer himself considered his older brother to be his greatest artistic example; he was a life-long friend and admirer of the author and poet Aaron Zeitlin. Of his non-Yiddish-contemporaries he was strongly influenced by the writings of Knut Hamsun, many of whose works he later translated, while he had more critical attitude towards Thomas Mann, whose approach to writing he considered opposed to his own. Contrary to Hamsun's approach, Singer shaped his world not only with the egos of his characters, but also using the moral commitments of the Jewish tradition that he grew up with and that his father embodies in the stories about his youth. This led to the dichotomy between the life his heroes lead and the life they feel they should lead - which gives his art a modernity his predecessors do not evince. His themes of witchcraft, mystery and legend draw on traditional sources, but they are contrasted with a modern and ironic consciousness. They are also concerned with the bizarre and the grotesque. Another important strand of his art is intra-familial strife - which he experienced firsthand when taking refuge with his mother and younger brother at his uncles home in Bilgoraj. This is the central theme in Singer's big family chronicles - like The Family Moskat (1950), The Manor (1967), and The Estate (1969). Some are reminded by them of Thomas Mann's novel Buddenbrooks; Singer had translated Mann's Der Zauberberg (The Magic Mountain) into Yiddish as a young writer. Language: Singer always wrote and published in Yiddish – almost all of it in newspapers – and then edited his novels and stories for their American versions, which became the basis for all other translations; he referred to the English version as his "second original". This has led to an ongoing controversy whereby the "real Singer" can be found in the Yiddish original, with its finely tuned language and sometimes rambling construction, or in the more tightly edited American version, where the language is usually simpler and more direct. Many of Singer's stories and novels have not yet been translated. In the short story form, in which many critics feel he made his most lasting contributions, his greatest influences were Chekhov and Maupassant. From Maupassant, Singer developed a finely grained sense of drama. Like the French master, Singer's stories can pack enormous visceral excitement in the space of a few pages. From Chekhov, Singer developed his ability to draw characters of enormous complexity and dignity in the briefest of spaces. In the foreword to his personally selected volume of his finest short stories he describes the two aforementioned writers as the greatest masters of the short story form. . . wikipedia-Isaac_Bashevis_Singer Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 110

Condition: Fine

Description: 96 S : col. ill., graph. Darst., Karte, col. photos, mit zahlr. farbigen Abbildungen / Fotos, Zustand: geringe Lagerspuren, sehr gutes Exemplar. Text, Sprache: Englisch, The wildlife of Saudi Arabia and its neighbours / Abdul M. S. Talhouk [Mitarb.], Spine title: Wildlife of Saudi Arabia, compiled by A.S. Talhouk, Foreword by Sir Peter Scott ; introduction by Wilhelm Buttiker. The greatly varied and often unique wildlife of the Arabian peninsula is a natural heritage of immense importance. The extraordinary range of species to be found there stems from Arabia's remarkable climatic and geological evolution at the point where three major zoological worlds meet. Until quite late into the twentieth century large areas of the country remained free from the effect of the inventions of man. Up to the spread of firearms, wildlife - much of it unrecorded - flourished undisturbed. With development animal life was threatened. On land the Gazelle, the Tahr, the Oryx were hunted; the big cats lost their quarry; on the coasts the turtle became the target. Species dwindled, some to vanishing point. Recently, industry has produced the further danger of pollution: with the building of refineries and increased shipping have come fears for the incomparable glory of the coral reefs of the Red Sea and the marine life of the Gulf. The challenge is today being met. King Khalid of Saudi Arabia, Sultan Qaboos of Oman, the Emirs of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have backed vigorous action to conserve and to establish a fundamentally new attitude among their subjects towards the wildlife of the area - a reverence in short, for the creation of God. Some species have been lost to Arabia for ever. This book tells of those that have survived - some by action taken at the eleventh hour : the delicate Arabian Gazelle, the exquisite Oryx - the mythical 'unicorn' -that disappeared entirely from Arabia for many years, the Caracal of the mountains, the fleet-footed Cheetah, the mischievous baboons, the desert wolf and fox, the 'instant fish' that reappear in desert pools after years of waterlessness, the astonishingly coloured Red Sea fish, the scorpions, the spiders, the Hawksbill Turtle creeping ashore at night to lay its eggs, the Flamingo and brilliant Tropicbird, and many more.
