This book reconstructs Jacob's story and looks back at this controversial period in European history. In a remote town in Poland in the 18th century, people unexpectedly welcomed a mysterious Jewish youth. He was a heretic, claiming to break all the secular laws and shackles and lead people to a better world. Many people followed in his footsteps, crossing the barriers of national borders and languages, and even breaking the boundaries of faith. On this road where glory and shame, discipline and rebellion coexist, will they usher in light or emptiness?
