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.\n\nWinner of the Nobel Prize for Literature","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49001245212891,"sku":"9780141197609-RETAIL","price":28.04,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/76658f58-b4b6-4e25-b7f1-00f66984292b.jpg?v=1784744885","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780141197609-retail-the-magician-of-lublin","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
