Summer Dream
by Marilou H. FlinkmanIn 1825 New York, marriage and family are a common desire of most women.

The Manor
by Isaac Bashevis SingerThe complex family chronicle of a Jewish family in nineteenth-century Poland showing the dispersion of that family, and the separation and hostility between generations. Calman Jacoby, a spiritual, honest man who observes his Jewish traditions, begins a new phase of his life as a wealthy business man after he takes over the management of a Polish manor. The stories of his four daughters and their husbands show different levels of keeping or rejecting the traditions instilled in each by their father.<P> Singer raises issues of capitalism and success versus maintaining the observations of Jewish tradition, and of rationalism and science versus the mysticism and superstition of the village Jewish community. Some men immerse themselves in the world of old, Talmudic scholarship, speak only Yiddish, and shun contact with outsiders, while others begin to shave, wear European clothing, eat non-kosher food, and associate with women outside the family. Singer describes tension and upheaval within families in times of rapid transition from one kind of society to another.
