Learn moreThe crowning achievement of one of Israel's literary masters, Adam Resurrected remains one of the most powerful works of Holocaust fiction ever written.
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, Adam is now the ringleader at an asylum 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.
With the biting irony of Catch-22, the intellectual vigor of Saul Bellow, and the pathos and humanity that are Kaniuk's hallmarks, Adam Resurrected offers a vision of a modern hell that devastates even as it inches toward redemption.
Yoram KaniukĀ was born in Tel Aviv in 1930 and took part in Israelās War of Independence in 1948. A painter, journalist, and theater critic, he is best known as a novelist. His books have been translated to great acclaim into more than twenty languages and have earned him the Bialik Prize, the French Prix de Droits de lāHomme, and the Israeli Presidentās Prize.
Stefan RudnickiĀ is a Grammy-winning audiobook producer and an award-winning narrator who has won several Audie Awards, as well as more than twenty-five Earphones Awards, and been named one ofĀ AudioFileās Golden Voices.
Reviews
āWhether it is due to the originality of his broken style, or the sensitivity of his charactersā¦or his implacable lucidity, Kaniuk must be considered one of the great writers of our time.ā
āStefan Rudnickiās narration seems more like a poem than a novelā¦Itās as if he alone were born to read these wordsā¦itās hard to imagine any subtlety lost in translationā¦[listeners] wonāt want to miss a word and more than likely will listen more than once.ā
