Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jewish-American Nobel Prize awarded author in 1978, of Polish birth
A magasabb erők egyetlen ajándékot adtak nekünk: választhatunk, szabadon választhatunk bánat és bánat, illúzió és illúzió között.
I. B. Singer: Mesüge
Szentséges Isten, negyvenes éveim végén ugyanott tartok, mint húszévesen: lusta vagyok, szétszórt, búval bélelt. Hiába aratom a sikereimet – tegyük hozzá, aprócskákat – a depressziómnak se vége, se hossza. Napról napra élek, óráról órára, percről percre.
I. B. Singer: Mesüge
Sok faj kipusztult, mióta feltűnt az ember.

Editors’ Note: This story, by Isaac Bashevis Singer (1902-1991), was first published in Yiddish in 1970, and is appearing here in English translation for the first time (See the translator’s note below about how it came to light.) Singer published more than sixty stories in The New Yorker, beginning in 1967; we’re grateful for this chance to present his work once again.
