The raucously witty Yiddish classic about a Jewish Paradise
afflicted by very human temptations and pains, in a new translation
Samuel Abba is a young angel who has just been expelled from
Paradise. As a result of a crafty trick, Samuel has retained his
memory of his previous life. The humans around him plead for
details of that other realm, but the Paradise of his mischievous
stories is far from their expectations: a world of drunken angels,
lewd patriarchs and the very same divisions and temptations that
shape the human world. Witty, playful and slyly profound, The Book
of Paradise is the only novel by one of the great Yiddish writers.
Published here in a lively new translation by Robert Adler
Peckerar, it is a comic masterpiece that irreverently blurs the
boundaries between ancient and modern and sacred and profane.
