Description

King of the Jews: A Novel by Leslie Epstein In this darkly humorous novel, a man's fancy determines the fate of others. Chosen as the head of a Judenrat, I.C. Trumpelman thrives on the power granted him, creating an authoritarian regime within the ghetto. By turns a con man, charismatic leader and merciless dictator, Trumpelman reveals himself as an extraordinarily complex protagonist. As a deeply human and profoundly disturbing portrayal of occupied Poland, King of the Jews offers stunning insight into the moral complexities of history. Epstein's masterful storytelling raises essential questions about the nature of power and the human condition. A deeply engrossing and thought-provoking novel, King of the Jews is a remarkable work of art that reveals the depths of human despair.
