«El esclavo» is the historical novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer, published by Ediciones B in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Set in 1648, during the uprising of Bogdan Chmielnitski against the Polish aristocrats, the novel follows Jacob, an enslaved Jew who falls in love with Wanda, a Christian. Their relationship develops in a context where faith, identity and freedom are challenged by religious intolerance and the ravages of war, and Jacob must decide between duty and the heart.
El esclavo is the Spanish translation of The Slave, published in the Byblos collection with an introduction by Rhoda Henelde Abecassis. Singer's original work, Nobel Prize in Literature, was published in 1962.
