Description:
From the Nobel Prizewinning writer, a new collection of literary and personal essays



Old Truths and New Cliches collects nineteen essays-most of them previously unpublished in English-by Isaac Bashevis Singer on topics that were central to his artistic vision throughout an astonishing and prolific literary career spanning more than six decades. Expanding on themes reflected in his best-known work-including the literary arts, Yiddish and Jewish life, and mysticism and philosophy-the book illuminates in new ways the rich intellectual, aesthetic, religious, and biographical background of Singer's singular achievement as the first Yiddish-language author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.




Like a modern Montaigne, Singer studied human nature and created a body of work that contributed to a deeper understanding of the human spirit. Much of his philosophical thought was funneled into his stories. Yet these essays, which Singer himself translated into English or oversaw the translation of, present his ideas in a new way, as universal reflections on the role of the artist in modern society. The unpublished essays featured here include "Old Truths and New Cliches," "The Kabbalah and Modern Times," and "A Trip to the Circus."



Old Truths and New Cliches brims with stunning archival finds that will make a significant impact on how readers understand Singer and his work. Singer's critical essays have long been overlooked because he has been thought of almost exclusively as a storyteller. This book offers an important correction to the record by further establishing Singer as a formida

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ Good Quality, Comfortable, Slightly Loose Sleeves
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Olive, Pocket Description: Front Pocket
I’m overall happy with this shirt. The fabric feels thick and substantial, giving it a quality, durable feel that holds up well after a few washes. It’s soft enough for comfort but has enough weight to keep its shape and avoid looking flimsy. The fit is generally true to size, and the cut is flattering through the body without being overly tight. My only small issue is the sleeves—they run a bit loose and aren’t as fitted as I’d like. If you prefer a slimmer sleeve, this might not hit the mark perfectly, but the body and overall length are great. For anyone looking for a heavier, well-made shirt that’s comfortable and looks nice, this is a solid choice. It’s not perfect, but the quality and feel make it worth it.

Great shirts at a great price.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Pocket Description: Front Pocket
Nice heavy weight short sleeve Tee very much like a Haines Beefy Tee in weight and a little less cost. The fit was exactly as Haines or other brand name tee shirts and as stated the weight and quality is almost identical as the Haines Beefy Tee's. Great shirts at a great price.

Nice All Cotton Shirt
Size: Large, Color: Medium Grey Heather, Pocket Description: Front Pocket
Nice shirt. Heavy cotton. I'll wear this for work. Heavier than Carhartt. Good value. And this gray is usually 95% cotton from Carhartt or Riggs. My preference is 100% cotton. I normally wear XL but finding all the vendors XL's are too baggy now. This L is a good fit.
