A Visitor for the Evening
About this product
| Product Data | |
| A Visitor for the Evening (first printed in 1939 as Germany invaded Poland) is Agnon¿s depiction of how all trendy actions except for Zionism ¿ secularism, Haskalah, socialism, communism ¿ failed to supply a viable different to conventional life. However, he’s clear, even conventional life was untenable, as a result of all of it fell aside from inside earlier than the primary furnaces had been ignited in Auschwitz. Even the Visitor¿s well-intentioned try and revivify and to re-engage the misplaced world of piety can be doomed. The Alte Heim, the outdated house, can now not exist ¿ it’s a place the place we are able to solely be passing company for the evening. Due to this fact ¿you may¿t go house once more,¿ however not for the explanations that Thomas Wolfe suggests; moderately, as a result of house now not exists. It needs to be rebuilt, however it could actually solely be rebuilt within the Bayit Hadash, within the new house within the Land of Israel. That is Agnon¿s best theme within the novel and, in differing methods, all through his physique of writing: The concept trendy man, trendy Jews, are alienated from their non secular house. Whereas we are able to¿t go house once more, that doesn¿t imply we are able to¿t transfer ahead by conceiving of a brand new house ¿ though doing so comes with the nice hazard of being caught within the disconnect between the outdated and the brand new, between what was and what could be. Translated by Misha Louvish, with a brand new Foreword by Jeffrey Saks. | |
