The Manor (Yiddish: דער הויף (Der Hoyf) is a novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer.[1] The book takes place in Poland after the Polish insurrection of 1863, and examines "the backwardness of Polish life at that time … [and] the conflict of old Jewish life and modern thought," according to Kirkus Reviews.[2]
It was first published in serialized form in Yiddish by Forverts between 1953–1955, as a single work with The Estate and then published in English by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1967.[3][4]
