The Magician of Lublin

Descripción

[1961]. Very Good in a Fair dustjacket. Green boards. The spine is stamped in silver. Octavo. 244pps. There is light wear to the boards, with the front and rear panels having a very slight splay. There is also faint browning to the endpapers and a previous owner's name is neatly penned on the front pastedown. Otherwise clean, tight, and bright. The textblock is immaculate with no apparent reading wear. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has dampstaining on the rear panel and considerable wear and tear along the edges; the original price (16s. net) is intact. A nice copy in a flawed jacket. ".The magician of the title is Yasha Mazur, an atheistic circus performer who skates on the high wire, eats fire, reads minds, and performs hypnotic experiments. Lublin, a manufacturing town a hundred miles from Warsaw, boasts a sixteenth-century cathedral and a rabbinical school. But although it is Mazur's home, he never performs there, and regularly goes forth on his tours of other towns, leaving an adoring and lonesome wife whose orthodox religiosity he scorns and to whom Yasha's life and personality remain a troubling enigma. On the surface 'The Magician of Lublin' is a wry and often frightening account of Yasha's attempts to deal with the attractions and claims of a variety of women outside of Lublin."
