In the mid-eighteenth century, a young Jew of mysterious origins arrives in a village in Poland. Before long, he has changed not only his name but his persona, Jacob Frank casts a charismatic spell that attracts an increasingly fervent following. In the decade to come, Frank will reinvent himself again and again - pilloried as a heretic and revered as the Messiah, and wreaks havoc on the conventional order with scandalous rumours of his sect's secret rituals and the spread of his increasingly iconoclastic beliefs. 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature recipient. Print run 50,000.
