Summary
The protagonist of this novel, Yakov, lives in Tsarist Russia during a period of violent anti-Semitism. When the body of a young boy is discovered in a cave, the local Black Centurias group attributes the murder to Jews. From “the Jews” to “a Jew” is only one step. And Yakov is arrested for a crime he did not commit. The hardships he must suffer by refusing to confess turn Yakov from a simple manual laborer into a hero, an honor he would like to decline. But chance, history and the times in which he lives have their inexorable laws. And Yakov succumbs to them. A theme as important as that of injustice, through a magnificent novel that inspired the film starring Alan Bates and Dirk Bogarde.
