Author Name Singer, Isaac Bashevis Title More Stories from My Father's Court Binding Hardcover Book Condition New Jacket Condition Near Fine Type Book Edition First Edition Publisher New York Farrar Straus & Giroux 2000 ISBN 0374213437 / 9780374213435 Seller ID 002160 Translated from the Yiddish by Curt Leviant. This volume is one of Isaac Bashevis Singer's most affecting autobiographical works. The stories in it, published serially in the Jewish Daily Forward, depict the beth din in his father's home on Krochmalna Street in Warsaw from a young boy's perspective. A unique institution, the beth din was a combined court of law, synagogue, school, and psychologist's office where people sought out the advice and counsel of a neighborhood rabbi. The 27 new stories gathered here were published in the Forward during the same period as those in the first volume; none of them were previously published in English. From earthy to the ethereal, these stories provide an intimate and powerful evocation of a bygone world. 216 pages, binding is quarter cloth. The jacket has a small spot on the front from a sticker. The black remainder mark on top is about 2" long. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
