Page Condition: Appears aged with slight yellowing.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA taut, intellectually dazzling novella, The Messiah of Stockholm tells the story of Lars Andemening, a Polish émigré and Stockholm book reviewer who is convinced he is the lost son of Bruno Schulz — the legendary Polish-Jewish writer murdered by the Nazis in 1942. Consumed by an obsessive search for identity and literary inheritance, Lars's world fractures when a mysterious woman arrives claiming to possess Schulz's lost manuscript, the mythical The Messiah. Ozick constructs a haunting meditation on authorship, imagination, and the seductive danger of delusion, weaving together themes of Holocaust memory and the power of storytelling with precise, luminous prose. A masterwork of postmodern literary fiction, the novel argues that the line between inspiration and madness is as fragile as the pages of a manuscript long thought destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888014471387,"sku":"2026200006951-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0dda8cea-ac64-4d5e-8593-49562b1b54da.png?v=1781752791","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006951-secondhand-the-messiah-of-stockholm","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
