View full profile →

Shmuel Yosef Agnon (1887–1970) was a Nobel Prize-winning Hebrew author, born in Buczacz, Galicia (now Ukraine), who became a central figure in modern Hebrew literature. His works blend traditional Jewish storytelling with modernist narrative techniques, exploring themes of exile, faith, and the tension between tradition and modernity. Agnon's unique style earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1966, which he shared with Nelly Sachs.
