Lot's Novels 5: the Book of Job
About This Novel
The protagonist of the novel, Mendel Singer, is a devout Jew living in a small town in Eastern Europe. His family makes a living by teaching Hebrew scriptures to Singer. The youngest son Menusim was not only born with epilepsy, but also suffered from dementia and aphasia. After the eldest son joined the army, the second son fled to the United States. The Singhs later immigrated to the United States with their daughter. With the outbreak of World War I, misfortunes ensued. His second son died on the battlefield, Singer's wife died suddenly, and his daughter went crazy and entered a mental hospital. Singer's fate is like that of Job in the Bible, withstanding the test of disaster. When he gave up his fear and belief in God, lived like a zombie and planned to return to his hometown, a miracle happened - his youngest son Menusim suddenly appeared in front of him. He was no longer the dementia with epilepsy, but became an elegant and charming young musician.
