[Moshe Mikanovsky · Rating 3 out of 5]

I expected much more from this collection, but I guess that either Agnon didn't write that many short shorts, or the people who put this together for the school system had some other motives in mind. I won't really call these "stories" as most of them are not; they don't have an arc, beginning, middle and end. They are more of thoughts of the author who put them together into an article form, kinda in a fiction form, but not really. Still, mostly I enjoyed the language, and some of the new old words I learned.
