Agnon was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1966 with Nelly Sachs . Resisting easy classification Agnon's work represents a fusion of irony, religious storytelling, experimentalism, and surrealism. Agnon explored the subjective and collective experiences of the Eastern European Jews throughout history. He used the traditional religious sources and folklore, blurring later in his works the boundaries of sacred and secular texts. His language was a blend of classic and rabbinic Hebrew and Yiddish revived in a spoken Hebrew. " I belong to the Tribe of Levi; my forebears and I are of the minstrels that were in the Temple, and there is a tradition in my father's family that we are of the lineage of the Prophet Samuel, whose name I bear." (from the Nobel acceptance speech, in 1966)

Shmuel Yosef AGNON Submitted by Norbert Porile Shmuel Yosef Agnon was the first Hebrew language writer to win the Nobel prize in literature. He was born in Buchach in 1888. His father, whose family name was Czaczkes, was a fur merchant and a follower of the Hasidic Rebbe of Chórtkow. Agnon grew up under a strong Hasidic and rabbinical influence and received private schooling in Yiddish and Hebrew. He started writing in these two languages before he was 10 years old and published his first poem at age 15. He published numerous short stories and poems in his early years. In 1907 he left Buchach for Palestine and lived in both Jaffa and Jerusalem. He first used the pseudonym "Agnon" in Ha-Omer , his first story published in Palestine, and adopted it as his family name in 1924. Once he left Buchach he stopped writing in Yiddish and wrote mostly in Hebrew. He spent the years from 1913 to 1924 in Germany, where he edited the Juedischer Verlag. He lived mostly in Berlin, where he associated with Jewish scholars and Zionists. Many of his stories of that period were set in the world of pious Polish Jews, but most of his manuscripts were destroyed in a fire and were never published. Agnon returned to Jerusalem in 1924 and began his most creative period shortly thereafter. His work dealt with major contemporary spiritual concerns, with the disintegration of traditional ways of life, and with the loss of faith and identity. Among his major works are The Bridal Canopy, published in 1937, a folk epic that became a cornerstone of modern Hebrew literature, and A Guest for the Night, published in 1939 following serialization in

Nobel Foundation Nobel Media Nobel Museum Nobel Peace Center ... Prize in Economics Shmuel Agnon The Nobel Prize in Literature 1966 Biography Shmuel Yosef Agnon (1888-1970) was born in Buczacz, Eastern Galicia. Raised in a mixed cultural atmosphere, in which Yiddish was the language of the home, and Hebrew the language of the Bible and the Talmud which he studied formally until the age of nine, Agnon also acquired a knowledge of German literature from his mother, and of the teachings of Maimonides and of the Hassidim from his father. In 1907 he left home and made his way to Palestine, where, except for an extended stay in Germany from 1913 to 1924, he has remained to this day. At an early age, Agnon began writing the stories which form a chronicle of the decline of Jewry in Galicia. Included among these is his first major publication, Hakhnasat Kalah (The Bridal Canopy), 1922, which re-creates the golden age of Hassidism, and his apocalyptic novel, Oreach Nata Lalun (A Guest for the Night), 1939, which vividly depicts the ruin of Galicia after the First World War. Nearly all of his other writings are set in his adopted Palestine and deal with the replacement of the early Jewish settlement of that country by the more organized Zionist movement after the Second World War.
