Isaac Bashevis Singer, writing originally in Yiddish and translated here by A.H. Gross, presents an intimate and richly textured portrait of Polish-Jewish life as it collides with modernity, assimilation, and the gathering darkness of Nazism. The novel unfolds through a vast ensemble of characters — merchants, intellectuals, romantics, and rebels — all orbiting the patriarch Meshulam Moskat, whose death sets the family adrift in a rapidly changing world. With the moral complexity and narrative grandeur of Tolstoy, Singer illustrates how tradition and identity fracture under the pressures of history, culminating in one of literature's most devastating and prophetic conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956134392027,"sku":"2026200010865-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/55e720f3-c075-4c7f-ad0d-c649ba4631ff.png?v=1783498201","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010865-secondhand-the-family-moskat","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
