And The Crooked Shall be Made Straight

3.6/5 ( ratings)

S.Y. Agnon’s first book-length, breakthrough work, originally published in Hebrew in 1912 and now available in English for the first time in a fully annotated edition—this novella depicts an impossible moral dilemma faced by the tragic hero Menasheh Chaim, in mid-19th century Buczacz . In the framework of a traditional Jewish folktale of old world Eastern European Jewry, Agnon delivers a profoundly modern piece of literature, which benefits from the tension between plot and genre.
