520    The Nobel Prize – winner ’ s richest, most sweeping and 
       ambitious novel yet follows the comet-like rise and fall 
       of a mysterious, messianic religious leader as he blazes 
       his way across eighteenth-century Europe.   In the mid-
       eighteenth century, as new ideas—and a new unrest—begin to
       sweep the Continent, a young Jew of mysterious origins 
       arrives in a village in Poland. Before long, he has 
       changed not only his name but his persona; visited by what
       seem to be ecstatic experiences, Jacob Frank casts a 
       charismatic spell that attracts an increasingly fervent 
       following. In the decade to come, Frank will traverse the 
       Hapsburg and Ottoman empires with throngs of disciples in 
       his thrall as he reinvents himself again and again, 
       converts to Islam and then Catholicism, is pilloried as a 
       heretic and revered as the Messiah, and wreaks havoc on 
       the conventional order, Jewish and Christian alike, with 
       scandalous rumors of his sect’s secret rituals and the 
       spread of his increasingly iconoclastic beliefs. The story
       of Frank—a real historical figure around whom mystery and 
       controversy swirl to this day—is the perfect canvas for 
       the genius and unparalleled reach of Olga Tokarczuk. 
       Narrated through the perspectives of his 
       contemporaries—those who revere him, those who revile him,
       the friend who betrays him, the lone woman who sees him 
       for what he is— The Books of Jacob  captures a world on 
       the cusp of precipitous change, searching for certainty 
       and longing for transcendence.
