The Brothers Ashkenazi (Twentieth-Century Classics) by I. J. Singer
A Yiddish Tolstoy/Hardy.
Una saga appassionante, vera e dolente, scritta da un narratore forte e imparziale che incide nella sua prosa limpida personaggi e scene potenti e indimenticabili. Mai un momento debole, mai una scelta di trama scontata.
The story of three generations of a German Jewish family is told, exploring the identity crisis for those Jews who saw themselves as German first, Jewish second as Germany embraced Nazism.
Loved the book. It is the story of two Chasidic brothers who live in prewar Poland. It goes until between the two world wars. Singer is an amazing writer. The characters are well developed and multifaceted. He gives a lot of information about the historical period so that it is easy to follow the story. This is a story I would definitely recommend.
