Isaac Bashevis Singer's The King of the Fields
Early printing of Singer's masterful historical novel. Octavo, original half cloth. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by John Alcorn. Author photograph by Nancy Crampton.
Singer's late novel, a magical and resonant fable, recreates the birth of the Polish nation. Through the compelling figure of Cybula, defeated leader of a tribe of hunter-gatherers, it explores the moment when prehistory dissolved into history, superstitions became tinged with skepticism, and men began to turn from many gods towards one god. "Singer is a writer of the great tradition. A true and important literary artist lives among us" (The New York Times).
