The author advances the thesis that Sholem Asch’s epic should be situated against the background of modernist realism with its specific features, which include „scattering the meanings” and focusing on the present of the world shown as if involuntarily. Thus, Asch creatively neutralizes the realism of the second half of the 19th century, whose ideological background was homogeneous.

In this study, discussing the previous state of research on The Witch of Castille, I give my own voice in the debate upon the theory of evil inscribed in Sholem Asch’s long short story. I express doubt about defining the text as "Jewish Quo vadis" and consider if the writer’s efforts to create the moral world of Paul IV’s Rome should not be compared (rather) with the effort of Joseph Conrad constructing the axiosphere of Heart of Darkness. To prove Asch’s distance towards the ethics of Sienkiewicz’s heroes and, on the contrary, closeness – towards Conrad’s characters, I analyze The Witch of Castille in the light of (1) the mysterial-sacrificial topic of René Girard, (2) the theory of symbols and archetypes of Carl Gustav Jung, (3) Tadeusz Kobierzycki’s "axiological metabolism", (4) Ernst Cassirer’s symbol-forming practices, (5) Shakespearean intertextuality of Asch’s long short story as well as (5) the theory of Kantean’s das radikal Böse, and among the other issues – (6) I also juxtapose the Conradian Leopold’s Kongo and Aschian Paul IV’s Piazzo di Judea.

The article attempts to analyze the Jewish Child, a story by Sholem Asch, (in the context of the song Crazy Mother written by the same author ) as a parabolic, meditative text with special contemplative properties, which due to the addressed issues (individual-collective relationship, human boundary situation) and construction (the structure of an “open work”) associates this work with Romantic heritage. The text brings out the special feature of Asch’s writing, which can be described as a connection between realism, moral or historical specificity and metaphysical depth, pulsating under the canvas of a realistic pictureand located in the spiritual dimension.

This article analyses the clash between tradition and modernity in the short stories written by Sholem Asch on the example of the institution of marriage. Asch was deeply rooted in Jewish culture, but at the same time, he strayed away from the tradition of his ancestors. He watches the world he knows so well from the outside. He notices the crisis of tradition among Jewish communities and exemplifies it through marriage, one of the most important Jewish rituals. In his short stories, he presents people who break the tradition bymarrying beneath themselves, not following all the elements of the ritual, choosing spouses against traditional advice. However, this neglect of tradition rebounds on the heroes – they are lonely, suffer from social ostracism, feel excluded, do not get along with the spouse or even die. Asch creates a hermetic world of a Jewish community which is slowly pervaded with unwanted changes. On the one hand, the narrator finds this tradition beautiful and loves it, on the other, it is anachronistic, rotten and destroys the characters in his stories..
