  • "A story of a Jew who pursues a hectic career as escape artist, lover, thief, and ascetic, but eventually realizes that it is not satisfactory and returns to the beliefs of his ancestors."
  • "Yasha the magician - sword swallower, fire eater, acrobat and master of escape - is famed for his extraordinary Houdini-like skills. 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. This title is winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature."
  • "Caught between his eagerness to win fame and fortune as a performer and his reluctance to give up his easy life of pleasure, a late-nineteenth-century Polish magician and holy man finds himself on the brink of disaster."
  • "Yasha Mazur, a conventional husband who entertains his cronies on secret trips to the underworld of Warsaw by performing feats of magic, finally crosses the thin line that separates playboy from criminal. Yasha uses his skills to crack the safe of the wealthy Kazimierz Zuriski and from then on he becomes an outcast and a hunted man."
