Synopsis
Aiming to stand as a metaphor for the failure of civilization to tame man's instinctive brutality but also of his enduring idealism and hope, this novel by the Nobel prize winning author of "Shosha" and "Enemies, A Love Story", describes the subjugation of the Poles by an invading Germanic tribe.

Review
"[Singer's] vision and imagination are stronger than ever, and whether one reads the book as a parable of modern civilization and its discontents or as unadulterated fantasy, one is indelibly transfixed."
--"Library Journal" "The strength of I. B. Singer's novel comes from the language, as it constantly undermines the flow of the narrative by infusing into the text - written in Yiddish and translated into English by the author - Polish words and phrases."
--"The New York Times"
