Teibele and Her Demon

by Isaac Bashevis Singer & Eve Friedman

translated by Carol Feldman

Starting from magical ways of thinking, Isaac Bashevis Singer offers a modern vision of the most feared of demons: the inner demon of the human being, the one that opens up the depths of the unconscious - a secret, irrepressible force that gives rise to love and hatred, fascination and revulsion, pushing feeling towards the breaking of taboos and towards a revolt that can end in madness and death. A dramatic story in which spirituality and sexuality collide, a story about the cruelty of convention and the power of mercy, which in the end prevails.
