A traveler who has come to spend the night. Agnon Sh - J.

“A traveler who came to spend the night” is the most important novel of the classic of Jewish literature of the 20th century, the Nobel laureate of Shmuel -Yosef Agnon (1888 - 1970). The hero of the novel, whom the author endowed with his features, returns after the First World War to his native Galician city, where he spends almost a year in futile, sometimes comic, and more often tragic attempts to revive the former religious life, destroyed by wars, disasters, suffering, loss of faith - and standing on the threshold of the final disappearance.
