Isaac (right) with his brother Israel Joshua Singer (1930s) on Krochmalna Street in Warsaw, Near the place where the singers lived (1940 or 1941) on the bench of the singer in the village of Bisgoraj on Krochmalna Street in Warsaw Isaac Bashevis Singer was born in 1902 in the village of Leoncin near Warsaw, the capital of the Congress of Poland in the Russian Empire - the land that is part of the Russian partition of the territory of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. A few years later the family moved to the nearby Polish town of Radzymin. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but it was most likely the date of November 11, similar to the date that Singer gave to his official biographer Paul Kresh, his secretary Dvorge Theoshkin and Rabbi William Berkowitz. 1902 is consistent with the historical events to which his brother refers in his children's memoirs, including the death of Theodore Herzl. The oft-quoted date of birth, July 14, 1904, was made by the author in his youth, most likely to make himself younger to avoid the project. His father was a rabbi-said, and his mother, Bathsheba, was the daughter of Rabbi Bisgoraj. The singer later used her name in the pseudonym Bashevis And his older siblings, sister Esther Kraytman (1891-1954) and Israel's brother Joshua Singer (1893-1944), also became writers. Esther was the first in the family to write stories. In 1907, the family moved to the court of Rabbi Radzimin, where his father became the head of the yeshiva. After the yeshiva building burned down in 1908, the family moved to Warsaw, an apartment on a tiny street, 10. In the spring of 1914, the singers moved to No. 12. The street where Singer grew up was located in Warsaw's poor Yiddish Jewish quarter. There his father served as a rabbi, and was called to be a judge, arbiter, religious authority and spiritual leader in the Jewish community. The unique atmosphere of the pre-war street Of Krochmalna can be found both in the collection of Warsaw stories, telling stories from Singer's childhood, as well as in those novels and stories that take place in pre-war Warsaw. The First World War in 1917, due to the hardships of the First World War, the family broke up. The singer moved with his mother and younger brother Moshe to his mother's hometown of Bishgoraj, a traditional shtetl where his mother's brothers followed his grandfather as rabbis. When his father became a village rabbi again in 1921, Singer returned to Warsaw. He enrolled in the Tachkemonian Rabbinical Seminary and soon decided that neither the school nor the profession were suitable for him. He returned to Bisgoraj, where he tried to feed himself by giving Hebrew lessons, but soon gave up and joined his parents, believing himself to be a loser. In 1923, his older brother Yisrael Joshua arranged for him to move to Warsaw to work as a proofreader for the Jewish writer Blether, whose editor was his brother. In 1935, four years before the Nazi invasion, Singer emigrated from Poland to the United States. He feared a growing threat in neighboring Germany. This step separated the author from his first wife, Runia Pontch, and son Yisrael Samir (1929-2014); they emigrated to Moscow and then to Palestine. The three met again twenty years later in 1955. The singer in Yiddish. After a promising start, he became despondent and for several years felt lost in America (the title of his 1974 novel, published in Yiddish; published in English in 1981). In 1938 ,(פֿאָרװערטס) settled in New York, where he began working as a journalist and columnist for the Jewish newspaper The Daily Forward he met Alma Wasserman Unovmann (1907-1996), a German-Jewish refugee from Munich. They married in 1940, and their union seemed to release energy in it; he returned to prolific writing and contribute to the forward. In addition to the pseudonym Bashevis, it was published under the pseudonyms Warsaw (pro. Warsaw) during the Second World War, citation is necessary and D. Segal. They lived many years in the Belnord apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. In 1981, Singer gave a speech at the University of Albany and received an honorary doctorate. Singer died on July 24, 1991, in Surfside, Florida, after a series of strokes. He was buried at Cedar Park Cemetery in Emerson, New Jersey. The street in Surfside, Florida, is named after Isaac Singer Boulevard; and the town square in Lublin, Poland. A full academic scholarship for University of Miami students is also named after him. Singer's literary career first published the story won a literary competition literarishe bletter and gained a reputation as a promising talent. Reflecting his formative years in the kitchen of literature can be found in many of his later works. IB Singer published his first novel, Satan in Grief, in installments in the literary magazine Globus, which he co-founded with his lifelong friend, Yiddish poet Aaron Seitlin in 1935. The book tells about the events of 1648 in the village of Goraj (near Bishgoraj), where the Jews of Poland lost a third of their population as a result of a mass attack by the Cossacks. It explores the influence of the distant false messiah of the seventeenth century, Shabatai Tsvi, on the local population. Its last chapter mimics the style of the medieval Yiddish chronicle. With a sharp depiction of innocence crushed by circumstances, the novel seems to portend impending danger. In his later work, Rab (1962), Singer returns to the aftermath of 1648, in a love story between a Jewish man and a pagan woman. It depicts traumatized and desperate survivors of a historical catastrophe with an even deeper understanding. The family of Moscat Isaac Basheviz Singer and his wife. The singer became a literary author of the Jewish Daily Forward only after his older brother Israel died in 1945. That same year, Singer published The Moscat Family in honor of his brother. His own style manifested itself in the bold twists of his actions and characters, with double adultery during the holiest nights of Judaism, the evening of Yom Kippur (despite being printed in a Jewish family newspaper in 1945). He was almost forced to stop writing the novel by his editor-in-chief, Abraham Kahan, but was saved by readers who wanted the story to go on. After that, his stories, which he had previously published in Yiddish literary newspapers, were also printed in Forward. Singer's reputation grew throughout the 1940s. The singer believed in the power of his native language and thought that there was an even larger audience, including in New York, who wanted to read Yiddish. In an interview in Encounter (February 1979), he claimed that although the Jews of Poland had died, something - call it a spirit or any other - was still somewhere in the universe. This is mystical kind of feeling, but I feel that there is truth in it. Some of his colleagues and readers were shocked by his comprehensive view of human nature. He wrote about female homosexuality (Seitl and Rykel, Tseytl un Rikl), published in Sessions and Other Stories, Transvestism (Yeshiva's Boy in Short Friday), and about rabbis corrupted by demons (Seidlus Pope on Short Friday). In those novels and stories that relate to events in his own life, he portrays himself unflatteringly (with some degree of precision) as an artist who is self-centered but has a keen eye for the suffering and tribulations of others. The Singer's Literary Influences had many literary influences; In addition to the religious texts he studied, he grew up with a rich array of Jewish folk tales and worldly Yiddish story detectives about Max Spitzkop and his assistant Fuchs. He read in Russian, including Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment at the age of fourteen. In his memoirs, he wrote about the importance of Yiddish translations donated in bookcases from America, which he studied as a teenager in Bilgorage: I read everything: stories, novels, plays, essays... I read Raisen, Strindberg, Don Kaplanovich, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Maupassant, Chekhov. He studied many philosophers, including Spinoz, Arthur Schopenhauer and Otto Weininger. Among his contemporaries in Yiddish, Singer considered his older brother his greatest artistic example; he was also a lifelong friend and admirer of the author and poet Aaron Sytlin. Of his non-isish contemporaries, he was heavily influenced by the writings of Knut Hamsun, many of whose works he later translated, while he was more critical of Thomas Mann, whose approach to writing he considered to be the opposite of his own.
