A powerful story about a man's discovery of faith and identity after his escape
from Nazi persecution in Poland, new to Penguin Modern Classics
From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Isaac Bashevis Singer, The
Penitent is the story of Joseph Shapiro, a disillusioned and aimless man who
discovers a purpose to his life through the Jewish faith. Following his journey
as he flees Nazi persecution in Poland in 1939, through wealth and a failed
marriage in New York, and on to Israel, it charts his transformation from
worldly confusion to spiritual certainty in orthodox Judaism. This powerful work
is an examination of the nature of faith, the question of identity and the
notion of how to lead a good life.
