«La familia Moskat» is the novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer, published by Planeta in paperback (574 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative follows the Moskat family and the Jewish community of Warsaw from the early 20th century until 1939, when the Nazis are about to occupy the city. It portrays a complex and diverse culture, with mystics, businessmen, Zionists, traditionalist rabbis and marginal painters, a society that the war was going to destroy.
Translation from English by Juan José Guillén, published in the Fábula Collection, number 18, by Planeta. The original title in Yiddish is Di familye Mushkat.
