En pleno siglo XXI, una comunidad judía vive aislada en los bosques de Polonia. Nadie sabía de su existencia... hasta ahora.
¿Y si una aldea perdida en los bosques de Polonia hubiese escapado milagrosamente a los horrores del siglo XX? Partiendo de esta brillante premisa, Max Gross ha urdido una ficción especulativa en la estela del mejor humor judío, un cruce entre Woody Allen, Michael Chabon y La vida es bella por el que obtuvo el National Jewish Book Award.
Los habitantes de Kreskol, un shtetl o aldea judía, llevan más de cien años felizmente aislados del mundo: desconocen el Holocausto y la Guerra Fría, e inventos modernos como el automóvil, el smartphone o el saneamiento. Hasta que una disputa matrimonial los obliga a entrar bruscamente en el siglo XXI. Una mañana, tras un amargo divorcio, la joven Pesha Lindauer desaparece sin dejar rastro. Alarmados, los rabinos encargan a Yankel Lewinkopf, el tonto del pueblo, que se aventure al exterior para alertar a las autoridades. En su periplo, Yankel descubre la belleza y el espanto de la vida moderna. Incapaces de creer su relato, los polacos lo toman por loco y lo ingresan en un centro psiquiátrico. Cuando, finalmente, se compruebe que dice la verdad, acaparará la atención de todos los medios. El encuentro entre ambos mundos tendrá consecuencias dramáticas (y a menudo cómicas) para los habitantes del shtetl, que deberán afrontar los oscuros orígenes de su aislamiento y decidir si desean subirse o no al tren de la Historia.
La crítica ha dicho...
«Ingenioso y sagaz. La persistencia del antisemitismo después del Holocausto ha sido un tema recurrente para los escritores estadounidenses, desde Bernard Malamud y Philip Roth hasta autores recientes como Michael Chabon, Shalom Auslander y Steve Stern. Gross se ha ganado un hueco en esta tradición» USA Today
«Una fábula amena y a ratos inquietante que provoca verdaderas carcajadas y que refleja con perspicacia las cotas de testarudez, fe y absurdo a las que puede llegar el ser humano.» Publishers Weekly
«Un sentido del humor perfectamente afilado.» Zenda
