In late-fifteenth-century Spain, Jona Toledano, son of a Jewish silversmith, is left alone after the deaths of his brother and father amid the expulsion of the Jews. After fleeing across the country and surviving various hardships, he reaches Zaragoza, where an elderly physician initiates him into healing. The narrative combines adventure and historical drama with the protagonist's calling, as he finds his true path in medicine.
Work originally published in English under the title The Last Jew, although this German edition presents it as an independent historical novel set in Inquisition-era Spain.
