EBOOK Son of a Smaller Hero
Opis
Young Noah Adler, passionate, ruthlessly idealistic, is the prodigal son of Montreals Jewish ghetto. Finding tradition in league with self-delusion, he attempts to shatter the ghettos illusory walls by entering the foreign territory of the goyim. But here, freedom and self-determination continue to elude him. Eventually, Noah comes to recognize justice and safety and a kind of felicity in a world he cannot entirely leave behind. Richlers superb account of Noahs struggle to scale the walls of the ghetto overflows with rich comic satire. Son of a Smaller Hero is a compassionate, penetrating account of the nature of belonging, told with the savage realism for which Mordecai Richlers fiction is celebrated.From the Paperback edition.
