Who by fire, who by earthquake - Haaretz Com (original) (raw)

On July 27, 1929, on the margins of a long letter, S.Y. Agnon wrote to his patron, Salman Schocken, to tell him about his new home: "And now another private matter that relates to me: The family of my partner, may she live a long life, has taken 1,000 pounds from the inheritance [left by his wife Esther's father, Georg Marx] to build us a house. If only I find solace there."
