About this listen

 The Magician can dazzle the crowds with his sleight of hand, climb to any height, open any lock. Fearlessly, he does death-defying tricks in theaters all over Poland. At home, his sweet Jewish wife waits for him to return from the city. In the city, his adoring mistresses wait for him to return from home. He holds the key to all hearts, but his own is beset with confusion.©1988 Isaac Bashevis Singer (P)2000 Jewish Contemporary Classics, Inc. All rights reserved.

Having returned from Lublin recently and learning of the Holocaust and visiting Majdanek death camp, I was sickened and fascinated at the plight of Jews in Poland and this city in particular. I was delighted therefore to discover this Jewish Classic novel set in the era preceding the Nazi onslaught. The descriptions and imagery of lufe within a thriving Jewish community were enchanting and foreboding. So glad this book was written and on audible! Life is full of guided experiences like this one.

wonderful and marvellous historical classic

This is an intriguing tale of a Jewish magician in late 19th century Poland who is torn apart by his own greed, lust and religious confusion. It is narrated by Larry Keith who brings out the characters in the story expertly.

Magical story of a complex character

The main character has nothing admirable about him. The entire tale is about his feeding his ego, lust and wealth.

no one else has their character developed.

I restarted this over and over.

As my Grandmother would have said: FEH!

I could not stand it.
