Book
The books of Jacob : or, a fantastic journey across seven borders, five languages, and three major religions, not counting the minor sects.

That the wise might have it for a record, that my compatriots reflect, laypersons gain some understanding, and melancholy souls obtain some slight enjoyment / Olga Tokarczuk ; translated by Jennifer Croft.
