Shmuel Yosef Agnon Quotations Polish-born Israeli Writer Memories Are Like Clouds at Amazon If I am proud of anything, it is that I have been granted the privilege of living in the land which God promised our forefathers to give us, as it is written. Our days on earth are like a shadow, and the time of our affliction is the length of our days. I am generally ashamed to walk out in new clothes. And why am I ashamed? Is it because I don’t want to embarrass the others who don’t have new things? Or perhaps because a new coat makes you stand out, and you seem to be clothes and nothing else. The moon lit up the voice, and within the voice was the likeness of a woman. On everything you need to hear other people’s opinions. It’s the only way to do things. You ask a friend’s advice and then between the two of you things somehow get clearer. A home from which you can be ejected at any time is no true home. God in heaven sits on high and plays games with us. He has plenty to do up there, what with building worlds and then knocking them down again, breaking things up and then rebuilding them, and yet he can manage to put his mind even to a little grocer in his shop or to a babe in the cradle. It is not enough for a man to dwell in the Land of Israel, he must also pray to be free.

Shai Agnon : A Mystery Wrapped Up in an Enigma Truth is sometimes indistinguishable from fiction. By Beverly Bailis Reprinted with permission from the AVI CHAI Bookshelf , where birthright israel alumni can order free books and periodicals. In his acceptance speech upon receiving the Nobel Prize in literature, S. Y. Agnon (1888-1970), one of the most prolific and celebrated Hebrew authors of the 20th century, offered some insights into his enigmatic life and work. In his life and work, truth bleeds into fiction, making the two indistinguishable. From the Pious to the Profane The writer is known for his short stories, novellas and novels, written in a variety of styles ranging from pious folk tales and gothic romances to psychological dramas. Agnon claimed that his inspirations were "first and foremost the sacred scriptures, and after that, the teachings of the medieval Jewish sages, and the spectacles of nature and the animals of the earth." This image of himself as a pious and parochial Jew is central to the identity he constructs of himself as the modern Jewish writer. He is able to present himself as the writer of his people by conflating in his fiction aspects of his own biography with the history of the Jewish people. For instance, he claims that he was born on the

The following information was obtained from: Encarta.msn.com Shmuel Yosef Agnon Israeli writer and Nobel laureate. Originally surnamed Czaczkes, he was born in Galicia, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He published his first poetry, written in both Hebrew and Yiddish, at the age of 15. In 1910 he settled in Jerusalem. Except for two stays in Germany, between 1912 and 1932, Agnon lived in Israel until his death. In 1935 he was named the first recipient of the Bialik Prize, the most prestigious literary award in Israel. In 1966, Agnon and the German-Swedish poet Nelly Sachs shared the Nobel Prize in literature. Agnon was cited for his “profoundly characteristic narrative art with motifs from the life of the Jewish people.” Agnon's stories, written in classical Hebrew and very difficult to translate, are rich in Jewish folk legends and mysticism. They note the gradual decline of the Galician Jewish communities between the time of his youth and the beginning of World War I. Agnon's work that is set in Israel illustrates the differing outlooks of the religious and idealistic early Jewish settlers of Palestine and the predominantly secular present-day Israelis. Among his most admired works are his novels The Bridal Canopy (2 volumes, 1919; trans. 1937) and A Guest for the Night (1938; trans. 1968).

FEBRUARY 6, 2004 current issue back issues subscribe Agnon, a Borgesian Invention A Lost Lecture Resurfaces, Revealing Unknown Influences Ilan Stavans Let me ask a simple yet complex question, which is what all questions are: What is a nation? My first reaction is to offer a geographical answer, but it would be insufficient. Instead, let us envision a nation as the series of memories stored at the heart of a people. George Bernard Shaw was once asked: How much suffering is humankind able to bear? His answer was that the suffering of a single individual is enough and is also the limit. In other words, the limit might be an abstraction, although the suffering itself is real. And so, if misery is impossible to measure in collective terms, how might one define a nation? To me, there isn't a clearer example of a nation than Israel, whose origins are almost confused with those of the entire world, and which reaches us today after much misery and exile. A nation is made of the accumulated memory of successive generations. In itself, memory is often approached in a couple of ways: as a barren collection of dates, names and locations, and as a catalog of curiosities. But there's another approach neither endorsed by historians nor by students of folklore: memory as experience incarnated in people. This, precisely, is what I find in Agnon. I shall now refer to "The Whole Loaf," a story about chance. It reminds me of Kafka, who is part of Jewish memory too. Agnon chronicles the infinite yet minuscule obstacles undergone by its hungry protagonist as he prepares for the Sabbath. Whereas Kafka was about the lack of hope, or else about a hope so remote it generates in us a terrible feeling of desperation, Agnon is patient: He waits because he's a believer. Indeed, one of the right decisions the Swedish Academy made recently was not to award its Nobel Prize to a writer of sadness and despair. Instead, it honored one who, like Bernard Shaw, also a laureate, is sensitive to tragedy but knows that a joyful conclusion to the human quest isn't altogether beyond us.
