To This Day

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of pre-World War I Berlin, the story follows a young Galician Jewish writer who, after living in Palestine, finds himself navigating a city rife with housing shortages. While it presents a comical narrative of his struggles, the novel delves into deeper themes of exile, Zionism, and divine providence, reflecting the complexities of human nature. This last work by Nobel laureate S.Y. Agnon is not only entertaining but also serves as a profound exploration of his enduring concerns, making it a fitting conclusion to his literary legacy.
