   Extractions: Chaim Potok Chaim Potok was born in 1929 in the Bronx, New York. He was the oldest of four children in his family. Like Reuven Malter in The Chosen, Potok was raised in an Orthodox Jewish household and attended a yeshiva, a Jewish religious school. His parents were Polish immigrants who had strong ties to Hasidism. In an interview Potok said, "I prayed in a little shtiebel [prayer room], and my mother is a descendant of a great Hasidic dynasty and my father was a Hasid, so I come from that world." After reading Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited when he was a teenager, Potok decided to become a writer. Riveted by the world of upper-class British Catholics that Waugh brings to life in the novel, Potok realized for the first time that fiction had the power "to create worlds out of words on paper." His parents, his Talmud teachers, and his peers disapproved of his interest in writing fiction, however, because many fundamentalist Jews regarded the arts as a waste of time and a distraction from serious study. As Potok told an interviewer, his mother said, "You want to write stories? That's very nice. You be a brain surgeon, and on the side you write stories." To learn how to write, Potok carefully studied the novels of such writers as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Charles Dickens, and Mark Twain. Over a period of five years, he spent most of his free time reading the novels of great writers. At the same time, Potok began to pull away from Jewish fundamentalism. Convinced that the worlds of modern literature and Orthodox Judaism were incompatible, Potok embraced Conservative Judaism, a less restrictive form of the Jewish faith, while attending college.

V roce 1954 se stal rabínem, stejnì tak ovšem toužil po špièkovém vzdìlání svìtském. O jedenáct let pozdìji zakonèil postgraduální studium filozofie na Pensylvánské univerzitì. Ve svých prózách známých také v èeských pøekladech èerpá z vlastního dìdictví ortodoxního judaismu a snaží se øešit otázku, jak by se mìl vìøící èlovìk pohybovat v moderní kultuøe, což je podle nìj ústøední problém jakéhokoli systému víry ve svìtské spoleènosti. I romanopisec je podle nìj "mezièlovìkem", protože zprostøedkovává kontakt mezi sebou a ètenáøi, mezi skuteèností a imaginací, mezi minulostí a pøítomností.

    Extractions: "Per Solomon Slepak, il partito comunista aveva il potere di una chiesa, l'autorità di un ordine, la forza di una comunione di fede. Gli aveva dato il rispetto di sé, un sogno per cui lottare, un leader forte e amato. Si immagini la sua reazione: il tuo partito! Che mancanza di rispetto, che ingratitudine! E che discorsi pericolosi. Il tuo partito. Arrossì in volto e gridò a suo figlio: 'Tu non capisci niente!'." L'ultimo capitolo del libro vede l'ultimo incontro di Chaim Potok con l'anziano amico russo, in Israele, incontro avvenuto nel 1995 . Così come il libro si era aperto con la conoscenza tra i due avvenuta a Mosca dieci anni prima. Una pena "sotterranea" però sembra continuare a persistere in loro: la lontananza dai figli è ancora fonte di sofferenza e di irrequietezza, ma non rimpiangono di certo di aver lasciato la Russia, nemmeno caduto il regime.
