Adam Resurrected

Resumen del libro

Yoram kaniuk's coruscating novel tells the story of Adam Stein, a former circus clown who was spared the gas chamber so that he might entertain thousands of other Jews as they marched to their deaths, is the ringleader at an asylum in the Negev desert populated solely by Holocaust survivors.

Alternately more brilliant than the doctors and more insane than any of the patients, Adam struggles wildly to make sense of a world in which the line between sanity and madness has been irreversibly blurred . Full of humanity and pathos, with the biting irony of Catch-22 and the intellectual vigour of Saul Bellow, Adam Resurrected offers a vision of a modern hell that devastates even as it inches toward redemption.
