A city in its fullness

Enlarge text Shrink text

"This is the chronicle of the city of Buczacz, which I have written in my pain and anguish so that our descendants should know that our city was full of Torah, wisdom, love, piety, life, grace, kindness and charity, begins this epic literary memorial which Nobel laureate S.Y. Agnon devoted to his Galician city (in today's western Ukraine). In the last years of his life, Agnon returned in his fiction to his ancestral hometown in order to re-imagine Buczacz in the days of its greatness. This new collection contains annotated translations of the major stories of A City in Its Fullness, a nuanced and complex picture of the past of one Jewish community." -- from the cover
