About

Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904–1991) was a Polish-American writer who wrote in Yiddish and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978. His works draw on the world of Eastern European Jewish communities, weaving together folklore, mysticism, and moral dilemmas. Satan in Goray (1935) is one of his early novels, set in 17th-century Poland and exploring mass hysteria and religious fanaticism.
