The Manor and The Estate-combined in this one-volume edition-bold tales of Polish Jews in the latter half of the nineteenth century, a time of rapid industrial growth and radical social change that enabled the Jewish community to move from the ghetto to prominent positions within Polish society.
The Manor is an epic of Polish Jewry and of the mystery of human hope . . . a great book. -The Boston Globe
|What he has achieved [in The Estate] is a sense of impetuousness, the fury, the bursting energy in the hearts of these Jews. . . . Tragedy is followed by new sorrows; joy by new joys.-Newsday
|The author's apparently inexhaustible psychological fantasy and insight have created a microcosm, or rather a well-populated micro-chaos, out of independent and graphically convincing figures. -Professor Lars Gyllensten, Les Prix Nobel, 1978
