Meir Ezofowicz

Meir Ezofowicz, a young man from a family of just men, returns to his small town in the east of old Poland with a mind full of books and ideas and tries to reform its rabbis, its customs and its schooling. Orzeszkowa's novel draws a closed community and the cost of the one who tries to open it. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
