Title : The Little World of Krochmalna Street - Isaac Bashevis Singer - book

Summary :

That evening it rained, and the coachman had to pull up the droshky's hood. Max took Tsirele in his arms and kissed her. He felt her trembling against him like a little bird. Breathless, she pushed him away, her face flushed. It had been a long time since he had felt such desire for a woman, a clear and violent desire, like in his youth..." It is precisely to rediscover his youth that Max Barabander, a former crook who made his fortune in Argentina, returns to Krochmalna Street. Between Tsirele, the rabbi's daughter, Reyzl Kork, the matchmaker, Basha, the little servant, Theresa the witch, he hesitates... The housewives, the students, the tailors, the bakers, the thieves, the children, the rabbi, the whole little world of Jewish Warsaw of the past comes back to life here again, "these men, these women with a banal existence, almost mediocre at times, but suddenly illuminated from within by all the magic of the spirit." (Jean d'Ormesson)
