«Les aventures d'un idéaliste : et autres nouvelles inédites» is the short story collection by Isaac Bashevis Singer, published by Stock in paperback in French.
Thirteen unpublished stories by Singer, which appeared in the Yiddish newspaper Forverts in New York and were not included in his collections during his lifetime. They range from the tender to the cruel and the fantastic: a woman reincarnated as a bird, a frustrated love, an endless manuscript or a shoelace serve to glimpse the human condition with humor and irony.
The stories appeared in 2004 in the third volume of Collected Stories (Library of America); this 2011 French edition is translated by Marie-Pierre Bay and Nicolas Bay.
For readers of short fiction interested in Yiddish literature and in the work of a Nobel Prize winner.
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).
