- "Jewish author Isaac Bashevis Singer appeared to have resumed his
literary activities fully in
the late 1940s after the turmoil and anguish
he experienced resulting from the cataclysmic events of
1944 and 1945. However, a major
transformation was underway in the author's life. He entered the
world of English translation at this point,
which was to eventually lead to his receipt of a Nobel prize. "
