He quickly begins regaling the humans around him with mischievous stories of a Paradise far from their expectations; a world of drunken angels, lewd patriarchs, and the same divisions and temptations that shape the human world. The Book of Paradise is a comic masterpiece, and the only novel by one of the great Yiddish writers. Written in the midst of rising anti-Semitism in 1930s Europe, its raucous blend of sacred and profane is a slyly profound reflection of the author's turbulent times." -- $c Back cover. 500 $a Original title in Yiddish (non-roman) on title page verso 650 0 $a Paradise $x Judaism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jews $z Europe, Eastern $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Angels $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Jewish fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 700 1 $a Peckerar, Robert Adler, $e writer of introduction. $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240117013330.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49C5DC86B50611EEB233F11920ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
