The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay A Novel by Michael Chabon In 1939, Josef Kavalier's perilous escape from Prague finally came to an end, as he shuffled into his cousin Sam Clay's cramped New York bedroom. This marked the beginning of an extraordinary friendship and business partnership that would change their lives forever. Together, they created a comic strip called 'The Escapist', its superhero a Nazi-busting saviour who liberates the oppressed around the world. As 'The Escapist' made their fortune, Josef's thoughts turned to one thing: how to effect a real-life escape and free his family from the tyranny of Hitler. Michael Chabon's exceptional novel is a thrilling tale of love, family, and cartoons, balancing high comedy with bitter tragedy. A heart-wrenching story of escape, love, and comic-book heroes, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a gripping and unforgettable read.
