Only Yesterday is a 1945 Hebrew novel by the Israeli Nobel Prize laureate Shmuel Yosef Agnon, widely considered his masterpiece and one of the great works of modern Hebrew fiction. Through a blend of symbolism, intertextual allusions, and tragic comedy, it provides a nuanced perspective on the ideological and cultural tensions within the Jewish community in Palestine during the Second Aliyah period in the early 20th century.
