Life
Isaac Bashevis Singer grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in Warsaw, where the main language was Yiddish. Singer’s father, a rabbi, worked in a yeshiva, an Orthodox Jewish school for the study of sacred texts. Singer began studies to become a rabbi himself but decided to devote his life to writing. He emigrated to the United States in 1935 and settled in New York, where he found work as a writer, journalist and translator. Singer left behind a rich body of work, including about 20 novels and several books for children.
Work
Isaac Bashevis Singer wrote his works in Yiddish. His debut came in 1925 with publication of Af der elter (In Old Age). In several of his works, Singer writes about Polish Jews before the Holocaust. The stories often cover several generations, and many of them describe how modernity, secularism and assimilation affect the families. The stories often feature Jewish folklore and legends. Singer also wrote books for children and his autobiography, In My Father’s Court (1967). Several of the Singers’ works have been adapted for film.
作品
艾萨克-巴什维斯-辛格用意第绪语写他的作品。他的处女作是在1925年出版的《老年》（Af der elter）。在他的几部作品中，辛格写的是大屠杀之前的波兰犹太人。这些故事通常涵盖几代人，其中许多描述了现代性、世俗主义和同化如何影响家庭。这些故事往往以犹太民间传说和传奇故事为特色。辛格还为儿童写书，以及他的自传《在我父亲的法庭上》（1967）。辛格的几部作品已被改编为电影。
