english: My grandfather was a rabbi and he was a widower who lived alone in a small apartment in Brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when I was growing up, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence and partly because it was filled with books.
non_english: Moj deda je bio rabin, bio je udovac i živeo je sam u malom stanu u Bruklinu, a to je bilo moje omiljeno mesto u detinjstvu, delom zato što je bilo ispunjeno njegovim finim i gospodsvetnim prisustvom, a delom zbog toga što je bilo ispunjeno knjigama.
