A Book that Was Lost : and Other Stories

Rating:
Summary: The hebrew Shakespear
Review: Ye, I know it sounds over-bombastic. Still, I quite stand behind this. Agnon has the quality (like the bard) of writing one sentence or a few words within, that tell a whole story in a bang. Every now and again you stop over a phrase that seems obscure, you think a bit, and often enough, it's revelation. It causes you to regret all the previous, skipped, pharagraph that you only half fathomed.

I must worn you though, that I can't recommend the english translation (not having read it translated).
