诙谐幽默的意第绪语经典作品，讲述了一个犹太乐园饱受人性诱惑和痛苦的故事--迈克尔-查邦的粉丝们最喜欢的新译本

这部关于被逐出天堂的年轻天使的故事诙谐、俏皮而又狡猾深刻，是一位伟大的意第绪语作家在第二次世界大战爆发前创作的唯一一部小说。

由于一个狡猾的诡计，被逐出天堂的小天使保留了他前世的记忆，当他作为一个能说意第绪语的凡人婴儿出生在地球上时。

他身边的人类恳求他提供另一个世界的细节，但他调皮故事中的天堂却与他们的期望大相径庭：那是一个充满醉酒天使、*荡族长的世界，

也是一个与人类世界一样充满分歧和诱惑的世界。

天堂之书》由罗伯特-阿德勒-佩克拉尔（Robert Adler Peckerar）以生动活泼的新译本出版，

是诗人兼讽刺作家伊齐克-曼格（Itzik Manger）的一部喜剧杰作，它不着边际地模糊了古代与现代、神圣与亵渎之间的界限，

在这里，什特尔就是天堂，天堂就是什特尔。

“Electrifying…sparkles with Manger’s song and poetry, and is brilliantly layered with literary and folkloric references.” — Tablet

“There is something joyous about Manger’s playful language.” — The Jewish Chronicle

The raucously witty Yiddish classic about a Jewish Paradise afflicted by very human temptations and 

pains — a delightful new translation perfect for fans of Michael Chabon

Witty, playful and slyly profound, thisstory of a young angel expelled from Paradise is the only novel by one of the great Yiddish writers, which was 

written just before the outbreak of World War II.

As a result of a crafty trick, the expelled angel retains the memory of his previous life when he’s born as a Yiddish-fluent baby mortal on Earth. The humans around him plead for details of that other realm, but the Paradise of his mischievous stories is far from their expectations: a world of drunken angels, lewd patriarchs and the very same divisions and temptations that shape the human world.

Published here in a lively new translation by Robert Adler Peckerar, The Book of Paradise is a comic masterpiece from poet-satirist Itzik Manger that irreverently blurs the boundaries between ancient and modern and sacred and profane, where the shtetl is heaven, and heaven is the shtetl.
