The Collected Works of Israel Joshua Singer Vol 2: 1938-1944
In this volume, Singerโs two last novels,ย East of Edenย (1938) andย The Family Carnovskyย (1940-1941), are followed by his memoir,ย Of A World That is No Moreย (1944). As in his first novel,ย East of Edenย is a scathing rebuke of prevalent ideologies, not sparing the Jewish spiritual practices of Poland or the catastrophic Soviet implementation of socialist ideas, graphically illustrated by the relationships among the characters. But in his last novel,ย The Family Carnovsky, a family saga spanning 50 years that appeared at the height of Nazi power, Singer suggests that, despite the hopes that accompanied theย Haskala,ย Jews could not escape their fate and traditions by seeking to assimilate with those who continued to reject them. Finally,ย Of A World That Is No Moreย appeared as a serialized memoir of Singerโs childhood in Poland until the age of 14. The critique of Jewish life that permeates his fiction is also evident in this memoir but is tempered by his mourning for the world that has been destroyed.
