Yoshe Kalb
Chi è l'uomo, assente e impenetrabile, che alla domanda «Chi sei?» dei settanta rabbini appositamente convenuti a Nyesheve dalle grandi città della Polonia russa e della Galizia risponde solo, con voce remota: «Non lo so»? Il sensibile, delicato Nahum, genero dell'onnipotente Rabbi Melech ed esperto di Qabbalah, tornato pressoché irriconoscibile a Nyesheve dopo quindici anni di un misterioso errare? O, come invece sostengono i nemici di Rabbi Melech, il più miserabile e deriso dei mendicanti di Bialogura, Yoshe il tonto, che per placare una spaventosa epidemia è stato unito in matrimonio a Zivyah, la figlia idiota dello scaccino?

Yoshe le fou
À l’aube du xixe siècle dans une communauté hassidique de Galicie, Nahum, à peine âgé de quinze ans, a dû épouser la fille de Rabbi Melech, Sourele, pour laquelle il n’a aucune attirance. Dans l’univers clos et frénétique de la cour rabbinique, Nahum vit en marge et se réfugie dans l’étude du Talmud jusqu’au jour où il croise le regard de Malka, la très jeune femme de son beau-père. C’est aussitôt la passion qui embrase tout. Les deux jeunes gens ne résisteront ni au désir ni à la transgression. Mais leur châtiment sera implacable. Quinze ans après le drame, un homme étrange arrive au village et réveille un passé que tous veulent oublier. Qui est-il ? Yoshe le fou est-il Nahum ? Histoire d’un amour passionné, absolu et pourtant interdit, Yoshe le fou (1932), premier grand roman d’Israël Joshua Singer, fut comparé par la critique des années trente à Balzac, Dickens et Tolstoï.
