Carregando... The Penitent (1983)de Isaac Bashevis Singer
![]() Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. A bildungsroman if ever there was one, this story of a Jew in New York who grows embittered with modern living and decides to become a traditional Jew in Jerusalem is fascinating for the insights it provides into the religious mind. ( ![]() Jews come in all flavors and backgrounds. For Joseph Shapiro, survivor, and then seeker of meaning, crisis becomes a complete embrace of a religious worldview and lifestyle. For me, this story is an interesting view from inside the Jewish tribe itself, of Jewish intra-tribal conflict and diversity, not only among diaspora American Jews but particularly within Israel, where those differences can be fierce. The useless Jews who pray vs the corrupted Jews who fail to pray, and everyone in between. I could see the same sort of conversion process that struck Joseph Shapiro happening with a secular Christian, or Muslim, which made this more than a "Jewish" book, The added Israel element, makes it a way to feel the ongoing political conflict that goes on in Israel and among Jews today. Een religieuze bekeringsgeschiedenis in de geest van de Confessiones van Sint- Augustinus van een bekering naar het Joodse geloof. Het verhaal dat hoofdpersonage vertelt is erg zwart wit. Via de epiloog geeft de schrijver dan aan dat een dergelijke ongenuanceerde tekening niet de zijne is. Al bij al heeft de novelle mij wat ontgoocheld, vooral dan als je ze vergelijkt met de schitterende en complexe romans die Singer over Jodendom en Chassidisme schreef.
