✦ Synopsis

Overview: SHMUEL YOSEF AGNON (1888-1970) was born in eastern Galicia (then Austria-Hungary) and immigrated to Palestine in 1908, where he became one of the central figures of modern Hebrew literature. He twice received the Bialik Prize for literature (1934 and 1950) as well as the Israel Prize for literature (1954 and 1958). He was the co-recipient (with Nelly Sachs) of the 1966 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his profoundly characteristic narrative art with motifs from the life of the Jewish people."
