Maravillosa evocación de su infancia en el shtetl de Lentshin, cerca de Varsovia, De un mundo que ya no está narra las peripecias de Singer en una comunidad fuertemente marcada por la doctrina y las ceremonias religiosas, y poblada por fascinantes personajes a los que el genial autor dota de vida en este emotivo ejercicio de memoria. Escrito por uno de los grandes maestros de la literatura yiddish, este libro constituye un testimonio de gran valor histórico, además de un auténtico réquiem por las comunidades judías de la Polonia de principios del siglo xx.
