Présentation de l'éditeur

Marc Chagall's strange autobiographical essay on his early life has established itself as a unique document in twentieth-century literature. Completed by the artist in 1922, this memoir was not available in English until Peter Owen published this translation in 1965, and it has remained in print ever since. Lyrical and evocative, it is a key work in Chagall studies for the light it throws on the shaping of the artist's creative genius. His deep roots in Jewish tradition, religious and secular, are reflected in these recollections of his poverty-stricken youth from Witebsk, White Russia, to the Paris art world. Contains fifty illustrations by the author.
