About the book
First written in Yiddish as Sonim, di geshikhte fun a libe, Isaac Bashevis Singer's novel concerns Jewish Holocaust survivors and was later translated into English. Paul Mazursky directed a 1989 film adaptation starring Ron Silver, Anjelica Huston and Lena Olin, which received three Academy Award nominations.
Steven Pinker, naming it one of his five most important books in Newsweek, summed it up as a novel about a Holocaust survivor and said every scene holds insight into human nature.
