About this title

Synopsis

Kalman, a Jew living in Poland just before World War II, is a cunning, ill-tempered man who maliciously seeks revenge on others, but who ultimately claws out a better world for those he loves

From the Back Cover

'When the community elder Reb Jonah Swerdl passed away, he left only one heir, his young grandson, Kalman, who dutifully recited the Kaddish at the open grave. But when the townspeople came to the deceased's house to conduct evening services, as is the custom, they found the doors locked. Kalman did not show up at the synagogue to say the mourner's prayer. An outrageous thing like this had never once happened since Jonah had built the prayer house, making Dombrovka a respected Jewish community. But who can argue with Kalman the Cripple? -from Kalman the Cripple
