Poland, Warsaw, 1930s. The air is filled with anxious premonitions of a global catastrophe. Aaron Greidinger is a young writer, the son of a rabbi, leading a bohemian lifestyle. Entangled in love affairs and creative failures, he tries to write a mystical play and, together with other Warsaw Jews, awaits the inevitable end of the world. One spring day, walking through the poor Jewish quarters of his childhood, he decides to look into the house where his first love lived, whom he had not seen for twenty years. It turned out that Shosha had been waiting for him all these years and, as if by magic, retained her former appearance as a simple-minded girl... The novel Shosha is the most famous work of Isaac Bashevis Singer (1902-1991), an amazing love story and a vivid testimony to the life of pre-war Warsaw, wiped off the face of the earth by the Nazis. After the publication of the English version of the novel in 1978, I. B. Singer was awarded the Nobel Prize for "the emotional art of storytelling." The text was originally published in Yiddish under the title "Expeditions of the Soul," but during the translation into English it was significantly changed and revised by the author, who subsequently insisted that the English version be used for translations into other languages. In this edition, the novel "Shosha" is presented in the classic translation from English by Nina Broomberg.
