THE BOOK OF PARADISE - ITZIK MANGER TASCHENBUCH

On being expelled from Paradise  young Samuel Abba pull a crafty trick  managing to arrive on
earth with his memory intact. He quickly begins regaling the humans around him with mischievous
stories of a Paradise far from their expectations  a world of drunken angels  lewd patriarchs 
and the same divisions and temptations that shape the human world. The Book of Paradise is a
comic masterpiece  and the only novel by one of the great Yiddish writers. Written in the midst
of rising anti-Semitism in 1930s Europe  its raucous blend of sacred and profane is a slyly
profound reflection of the author's turbulent times. --
