A través de la historia de tres generaciones de una familia judía, los Karnowsky, esta novela, publicada originalmente en 1943, nos ofrece un fresco extraordinario de la primera mitad del siglo XX. David, el patriarca, que en los albores el siglo abandona el shtetl polaco donde nació para instalarse en Berlín, animará a su hijo Georg a adaptarse y a convertirse en «judío entre judíos y alemán entre alemanes». Georg se convertirá en un respetable médico berlinés y encarnará así la cumbre de la integración y el éxito social de la familia. Su hijo Yegor, nacido durante el nazismo y profundamente marcado por el antisemitismo, desembarcará en una Nueva York inhóspita y culminará el accidentado destino de su linaje. En la presente obra, Singer no sólo escribió páginas de inusual belleza, sino que vislumbró además con una clarividencia sobrecogedora la suerte de los judíos tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, confirmando, a su pesar, la capacidad profética que sólo los auténticos escritores poseen.
Through the story of three generations of a Jewish family, the Karnowskys, this novel, originally published in 1943, offers us an extraordinary fresh of the first half of the 20th century. David, the patriarch, who at the dawn of the century leaves the Polish shtetl where he was born to settle in Berlin, will encourage his son Georg to adapt and become a "Jew among Jews and a German among Germans." Georg will become a respectable Berlin doctor and thus embody the pinnacle of family integration and social success. His son Yegor, born during Nazism and deeply marked by anti-Semitism, will land in an inhospitable New York and culminate the eventful fate of his lineage. In this work, Singer not only wrote pages of unusual beauty, but he also glimpsed with overwhelming clairvoyance the fate of the Jews after World War II, confirming, despite himself, the prophetic capacity that only true writers possess.
