Publisher's Synopsis
The classic Yiddish tale by S. Ansky, adapted by Tony Kushner, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angels in America, and Joachim Neugroschel.
This volume also contains a selection of Yiddish tales of the supernatural translated into English for the first time by Joachim Neugroschel.
Considered by many to be the greatest Yiddish drama, A Dybbuk recounts the tale of a wealthy man's daughter who is possessed by the spirit of her dead beloved. Collectively, these tales illuminate different aspects of the Jewish mystical world, including possessions, transmigration, fairy tales, parables and miracles.
