Tradition And Trauma: Studies In The Fiction Of S. J. AgnonDavid Patterson, Glenda Abramson Avalon Publishing, 07/07/1994 - 226 من الصفحات Agnon's themes are those of spiritual disintegration and decay as expressed through nightmare fantasy and symbol. These may be universal themes, but Agnon's originality resides in the way he relates them to the objective events of Jewish history. A palpable symbol of the appalling decline and disintegration of cultures in this century, the traumatized, evicted, or murdered Jew is highly evocative. Events have sapped his will to go on. In his encounter with the world and with God he is adrift and helpless. |
