The Magician of Lublin

Yasha the magician – sword swallower, fire eater, acrobat and master of escape – is famed for his extraordinary Houdini-like skills. Half Jewish, half Gentile, a free thinker who slips easily between worlds, Yasha has an observant wife, a loyal assistant who travels with him and a woman in every town. Now, though, his exploits are catching up with him, and he is tempted to make one final escape – from his marriage, his homeland and the last tendrils of his father`s religion. Set in Warsaw and the shtetls of the 1870s, Isaac Bashevis Singer`s second novel is a haunting psychological portrait of a man`s flight from love. This title is winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
