'The king of the Fields' Isaac Bashevis Singer

Singer was 85 when he authored this novel. Primordial Poland is the location in which Kings and their Princes inflict violence and brutality amongst their fellow villagers and other forest people. Additionally, women take to violent means and stage their own uprising. Meanwhile, a lone Jew attempts to dissuade the ‘Poles’ from their heinous activity. Metaphors are used to their brilliant best. Differing languages are fused into the text. The sentences and paragraphs produce an endless amount of amusement and shock.

Singer can write.
