Simple Gimpl: The Definitive Bilingual Edition
()
About this ebook
THE YIDDISH LANGUAGE’S ONLY NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATE PUTS HIS MOST FAMOUS STORY IN HIS OWN WORDS: Isaac Bashevis Singer was never entirely happy with Saul Bellow’s canonical translation of “Gimpel the Fool” from Singer’s original “Gimpl Tam.” This first-ever publication of Singer’s own English translation is a cause for celebration.
A BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE BILINGUAL EDITION: The perfect gift for enthusiasts and resource for scholars, Simple Gimpl presents Singer’s English translation alongside his original Yiddish and Saul Bellow’s canonical version. Beautifully presented as parallel tracks within the book, readers can track the similarities and differences.
FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS BY LIANA FINCK: An Instagram sensation with over half a million followers, New Yorker contributor Liana Finck’s cartoons have been praised for their brilliant satire and unique style. Her illustrations in Simple Gimpl will make this book a truly special object.
A HILARIOUS AND MOVING STORY OF RESILIENCE AND FAITH: Singer’s Gimpl is simple, but he’s no fool. The jokes and tricks perpetrated on him—and his resolute refusal to get upset or take revenge—are heartbreaking and hilarious, and a lesson for these agitated times.
