History Thieves

Zinovy Zinik

4.9/5 (19793 ratings)

Description:Coming from a thoroughly secular Soviet background, the Russian-British novelist Zinovy Zinik became fully aware of his Jewishness for the first time when he immigrated to Israel in the 1970s. In this innovative autobiographical tale, Zinik describes how an experience in Berlin—of seeing in reality a mysterious house he had dreamed about many years before in London—led him to investigate the checkered and enigmatic past of his Russian-born grandfather. To his surprise, Zinik discovered that his grandfather, while ostensibly practicing as a doctor in Lithuania, had a hand in building the Soviet empire from which Zinik had to escape fifty years later. In the entertaining and exhilarating manner of the classic detective story, Zinik’s narrative of assumed identity and plagiarized past culminates in the redemption that the acknowledgment of identity can offer. Zinik ultimately concludes that this identity recognition is not only central to the twentieth-century Jewish experience, or even the wider world of émigrés, exiles, and migrants of all kinds, but to the human condition itself.“Zinovy Zinik makes you think and he makes you laugh.”—New York Times Book Review“A great comic gift and an intricate critical mind”—Literary ReviewWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
