The Magician of Lublin

Sobre el libro The Magician of Lublin de Isaac Bashevis Singer publicado por Farrar, Strauss and Giroux al 2010:

Yasha Mazur is a Houdini-like performer whose skill has made him famous throughout eastern Poland. Half Jewish, half Gentile, a freethinker who slips easily between worlds, Yasha has an observant Jewish wife, a Gentle assistant who travels with him, an a mistress in every town. For Yahsa is an escape artist not only onstage but in life, a man who lives under the the spell of his own hypnotic effect on women.
