«Golem, el coloso de barro» is a children's story by Isaac Bashevis Singer, published by Noguer in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
In sixteenth-century Prague, Rabbi Leib creates a clay golem to defend the Jewish community. The creature helps a Jewish banker unjustly accused, but soon its disproportionate strength becomes hard to control, and the story turns into a reflection on power, responsibility, and the limits of human creation.
The edition belongs to the Cuatro Vientos collection (number 39) and includes the translation by María Luisa Balseiro and illustrations by Constantino Gatagán.
Aimed at children and young readers, with a suggested reading age of 6 to 10 years.
Isaac Bashevis Singer was a Polish-born Jewish American novelist, short-story writer, memoirist, essayist, and translator in the United States. Some of his works were adapted for the theater. He wrote and published first in Yiddish and later translated his own works into English with the help of editors and collaborators. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978. A leading figure in the Yiddish literary movement, he was awarded two U.S. National Book Awards, one in Children's Literature for his memoir A Day of Pleasure: Stories of a Boy Growing Up in Warsaw (1970) and one in Fiction for his collection A Crown of Feathers and Other Stories (1974).
