Passions

In this masterly collection of stories, Isaac Bashevis Singer once again weaves bewitching fables from seemingly ordinary lives, showing us with subtlety and compassion humanity at its most mundane and mysterious. From modern apartments in Miami to nineteenth-century Polish villages, from bravery in wartime Warsaw to a different kind of courage in Lisbon, these tales span the world and the range of human life.

Reviews

Remarkably good... Perverse, poetic, odd... It will leave you feeling quite wonderful

—— Guardian

'Excellent...This is no headbanging memoir of juvenile depravity, but an unashamed handbook to the sustained pursuit of sex

—— The Times

Consistently clever... genuinely memorable

—— Boston Globe

While each tale is original and complete in itself, a beautiful atmosphere of comic melancholy pervades the whole

—— Esquire

Funny, softhearted and hopeful

—— Los Angeles Times
