Zlateh the Goat and Other Stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer (1984-10-10)

arrivato in tempo brevissimo ok per lo stato del libro

Singer and Sendak are an unbeatable combination. Sendak is amazing in what he can do with pen and ink (no color). I think those who are familiar with Yiddish culture would appreciate these stories more than those who are not.

Childrens book of stories.

The service was excellent and the book was even better

I do enjoy a good story, and Zlateh is full of them, with nice drawings by Maurice Sendek. But they do get kind of drab. These arent stories that are overly funny or have an intellectual twist at the end that I was expecting. These are stories of a culture and they capture the strengths and weaknesses of that culture and do so quite wonderfully. Just be warned, the cultural quirks and expectations of the stories in this book will receive less appreciation from our technology-loving culture than they deserve. The book itself is a quick and comfortable read and has the potential for an excellent bed-time book for 4-8 year olds.

Absolutely wonderful and timeless book, for adults and children alike. Every story is deeply meaningful and adorably funny. Must have treasure in any personal library.

Zlateh the Goat is the best story I have read, for both children and adults. Its message of compassion and understanding reaches the hearts of all. Diana Townsend

Really neat interesting stories. Both my grandchildren and I enjoyed it.

Enchanting stories, kids and adults will love them. Singer was the great master.

Good story.
