ABOUT THIS BOOK
In this collection of Eastern European folk tales; Singer depicts the superstitious side of Jewish village life. Superstition rages and conquers nearly all of the villagers, their mindsets, and is in fact the main guide for their beliefs, goals and aspirations. The real Spinoza fought against superstition; it's no wonder, then, that a failed Spinozist would be the subject of the first of this book's short stories.
