love and exile isaac bashevis singer

From pre-First World War Warsaw to the New York of the 1930s, Nobel Prize-winner Isaac Bashevis Singer traces the early years of his life in this autobiographical trilogy. In A Little Boy in Search of God, he remembers his bookish boyhood as the son of an Orthodox rabbi, equally absorbed in science, philosophy and cabbala. Later, the pursuit of women came to obsess him almost as much as the pursuit of knowledge, and in A Young Man in Search of Love he chronicles the intricacies of his first love affairs. When he emigrated to the United States from Poland on the eve of the Second World War loneliness and depression overwhelmed him, and he relives those dark years in Lost in America. From beginning to end, Love and Exile sheds new light on Singer''s own life and the fictional lives mirrored in it.

From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Isaac Bashevis Singer, comes a fictional exploration of primitive history. Singer''s novel portrays an era of superstition and violence in a country emerging from the darkness of savagery. Set in Poland in the dark ages, it describes the brutality, prejudice and subjugation that occur when hunter-gatherers and farmers struggle for supremacy over the land. Part parable of modern civilization, part fascinating historical novel, this modern myth is a philosophical examination of man and his beliefs, and reaffirms the author''s reputation as a master of narrative invention.

From his school days when his parents struggled with poverty in the ghetto through the divide between traditionalists and those determined to modernize their lives to the wars and fascist regimes that made them flee their home, Singer''s stories and Vishniac''s photographs recreate a world long gone but never forgotten.

Autor sa narodil roku 1904 v poľskom Radzymine v rodine rabína. Spočiatku sa zdalo, že bude pokračovať v rodinnej tradícii, čoskoro však dal prednosť svetskej literatúre. Najprv sa pokúšal písať hebrejskú poéziu, no onedlho presedlal na prózu v jidiš, ktorej ostal verný po celý život. Prvá kniha - román Shoten an Goray (Satan v Goraji) - mu vyšla roku 1935. Tesne pred jej vydaním I. B. Singer v predtuche blížiacej sa katastrofy emigroval do USA. Až do konca života (umrel roku 1991 v Miami na Floride) bol neobyčajne produktívnym a úspešným autorom. Vydal trinásť románov a viacero kníh pre deti. Roku 1978 získal Nobelovu cenu. Spoločným znakom obľúbených poviedok situovaných do židovských komunít na poľskom vidieku, do varšavských bohémskych kruhov alebo emigrantských komunít v Amerike je rozprávačské majstrovstvo, v ktorom sa snúbi tajomno so zmyslom pre realistický detail, citlivosť s láskavým humorom bez irónie a odsúdenia, zmyselnosť s filozofickou hĺbkou. Príbehy nositeľa Nobelovej ceny za literatúru oslovujú ešte čímsi: posolstvom dobra, súcitu, úcty k múdrosti, vzdelanosti, posolstvom lásky a súdržnosti rodiny.

I v tomto románu I. B. Singer zkoumá propastnou komplikovanost lásky. HermanHerman Broder, hlavní postava románu, přežil holocaust a žije v New Yorku střídavě se svou manželkou, Polkou Jadwigou, a milenkou Mašou. Ani jednu z nich nedokáže opustit: částečně z lásky, částečně díky své nerozhodnosti a pasivitě, ale také kvůli tomu, že si svou ženu Jadwigu vzal vlastně z vděku, protože mu pomohla zachránit si za války život. Situace se vyhrotí, když z Evropy přijede Hermanova první žena Tamara, o které se řadu let domníval, že byla zavražděna spolu s dětmi během holocaustu.

Další z vynikajících Singerových souborů povídek. Těchto jedenáct povídek vyšla v USA v roce 1961 a všechny povídky zachycují zmizelý svět polských židovských ghett před druhou světovou válkou. Bez moralizování a psychologizování, věcně a pomocí kusých dialogů vypráví Singer o barvitém světě polské židovské komunity. Jako zápletka mu často slouží vztahy mezi lidmi, láska a manželství na pozadí každodenního života, kde muži pracují a studují Tóru a Talmud, ženy pečují o domácnost a rodinu a všichni si váží tradičních ctností. I v takovém světě se ale najdou výstřední postavy a drobné bizarní příhody, které autor nahlíží překvapivě moderním způsobem a s pověstným židovským humorem, v němž se skrývá odevzdání i moudrost věků.

The acclaimed Top 10 Sunday Times best-seller on our search for love'Uncommonly wise and honest. Love in Exile flooded me with a sense of continuity and hope. A masterpiece, from start to finish' - Maggie NelsonShon Faye grew up quietly obsessed with the feeling that love was not for her. Not just romantic love: the secret fear of her own unworthiness penetrated every aspect and corner of her life. It was a fear that would erupt in destructive, counterfeit versions of the real love she craved: addictions and short-lived romances that were either euphoric and fantastical, or excruciatingly painful and unhinged, often both. Faye’s experience of the world as a trans woman, who grew up visibly queer, exacerbated her fears. But, as she confronted her damaging ideas about love and lovelessness, she came to realize that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture. Love, she argues, is as much a collective question as a personal one. Yet our collective ideals of love have developed in a society which is itself profoundly sick and loveless; in which consumer capitalism sells us ever new, engrossing fantasies of becoming more loved or lovable.

Mass polarization is one of the defining features of politics in the twenty-first century, but efforts to understand its causes and effects are often hindered by empirical challenges related to measurement and data availability. To address these challenges and provide a common standard of analysis for researchers, this Element presents the Polarization in Comparative Attitudes Project (PolarCAP). PolarCAP clearly defines polarization as a property of group relations and uses a Bayesian measurement model to estimate smooth panels of ideological and affective polarization across ninety-two countries and forty-nine years. The author uses these data to provide a descriptive account of mass polarization across time and space. They further show how PolarCAP facilitates substantive inference by applying it to three sets of variables often hypothesized as causes or consequences of polarization: institutional design, economic crisis, and democracy. Open-source software makes PolarCAP easily accessible to scholars and practitioners.
