Description
Set in nineteenth-century Poland, this novel tells the story of Yasha – a sword swallower, fire eater, acrobat and master of escape – famous for Houdini-like tricks. A free thinker with an observant Jewish wife at home and a woman in every town, his exploits catch up with him and he is tempted to make one final escape – from his marriage, his homeland, and his father's religious heritage. But his plans unravel, and he instead seeks to lock himself up in a place that even he won't be able to escape – and to spend the rest of his days doing penitence.
