Greidinger is a young writer, the son of a rabbi, leading a bohemian lifestyle. Entangled in love affairs and creative failures, he attempts to write a mystical play and, along with the rest of Warsaw's Jews, awaits the imminent end of the world. One spring day, while strolling through the impoverished Jewish neighborhoods of his childhood, he decides to visit the house where his first love, whom he hadn't seen for twenty years, lived. It turns 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), a remarkable love story and a vivid testimony to life in pre-war Warsaw, razed to the ground by the Nazis. Following 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 English translation process, it was significantly altered and revised by the author, who subsequently insisted that the English version be used for translations into other languages. This edition presents the novel "Shosha" in Nina Broomberg's classic translation from English.
