בגנים In the Gardens

by אורי ניסן גנסין Uri Nissan Gnessin

In the Gardens (Hebrew: בגנים) is a short story by the Hebrew modernist author Uri Nissan Gnessin. It was first published in 1904 and has since been translated into multiple languages. The story is set in a small town in Eastern Europe and follows the lives of a father and his intellectually disabled daughter. The father is a rabbi who struggles to reconcile his religious beliefs with his love for his daughter. The daughter is a young woman who is unable to understand the world around her and often experiences seizures. The story explores the complex and often tragic relationship between the two characters and the ways in which society treats those who are different. Gnessin's writing is notable for its expressionistic language and its ability to capture the inner lives of his characters.
