Simple Gimpl =
Gimpel tam the definitive bilingual edition
Book - 2023
"Isaac Bashevis Singer's 'Gimpl tam' was published in Yiddish in 1945, about a month before Nazi Surrender. A story of bullying and the potential for revenge, is the deathbed confession of an orphaned baker who is targeted by his community for ridicule and practical jokes. Gimpl has come to be seen as a symbol of the Jewish people in the diaspora, and minorities in general. Should they be passive in the face of aggression? Or should they defend themselves? What role must the individual of that minority play when the pack behaves badly?"--Front jacket flap.
