In the aftermath of World War II, the Jews of a small and anonymous Polish ghetto suddenly believe in the possibility of survival thanks to Jakob's lies. The humble liar for mercy stars in the most endearing story representative of the German-Jewish community of Eastern Europe, in which the art of narrating admirably combines the reality of tragedy and the intact power of laughter. Translated by Costa-Woith.
Jurek Becker was a Polish-born German writer, screenwriter and East German dissident. His most famous novel is Jacob the Liar, which has been made into two films. He lived in Łódź during World War II for about two years and survived the Holocaust.
