As a young man in Warsaw, Isaac Bashevis Singer (1903-1991) wrote naturalist stories, sketches, and his first memoir, and translated eleven books of contemporary European literature into Yiddish. Published originally in the Yiddish press under the pseudonym Yitskhok Bashevis, the edition introduces the early writings in fluent English translations. The early fiction and non-fiction are annotated, richly illustrated, and includes a literary historical introduction.
