LA LUNA E LA FOLLIA | I EDIZ. TEA 1989 | ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER

Isaac Bashevis Singer’s La luna e la follia (1989, Italian edition) gathers a selection of short stories that intertwine Jewish folklore, existential dilemmas, and the complexities of modern life. Singer, a Nobel laureate, blends magical realism with moral inquiry, often portraying characters caught between faith, desire, and doubt. The stories move across Eastern European shtetls and the broader diaspora, evoking both the humor and tragedy of human experience. This collection highlights Singer’s mastery in fusing tradition and modernity, while exploring themes of memory, identity, and the fragile boundary between reason and madness.
