The Magician of Lublin

Yasha the magician - sword swallower, fire eater, acrobat and master of escape - is famed for his extraordinary Houdini-like skills. Half Jewish, half Gentile, a free thinker who slips easily between worlds, Yasha has an observant wife, a loyal assistant who travels with him and a woman in every town.

Magicianul Yasha - inghititor de sabii, mancator de foc, acrobat si maestru al evadarii - este faimos pentru abilitatile sale extraordinare, asemanatoare cu cele ale lui Houdini. Pe jumatate evreu, pe jumatate neevreu, un liber-cugetator care se strecoara usor intre lumi, Yasha are o sotie atenta, o asistenta loiala care calatoreste cu el si o femeie in fiecare oras.
