The Sorcerer of Lublin tells the story of an acrobat, magician, and lover in late 19th century Poland. Jascha Masur travels from place to place and adventure to adventure, showcasing his magical and artistic talents while enchanting the hearts of women. It is also the story of a man who seeks to escape the beliefs of his fathers: Jascha Masur wants to live by his own rules. A great novel, marked by the irony of an author in whose work Jewish tradition and literary modernity intersect.
