The main character of the novel “Job. A Simple Man’s Novel” (1930) is Mendel Singer, the head of a poor Jewish family from Volhynia, who, by chance, flees from the Russian Empire to New York. Like the biblical Job, Singer is an inexorable righteous man, whose path also includes hardships and trials. Will he be able to overcome them in order to once again deserve God’s mercy and miracles?
The plot of the novel “False Scales. The Story of an Eichmeister” (1937) unfolds on the other side of the border, in Galicia, where former military man Anselm Eibenschütz finds himself as a newly appointed inspector of weights and measures. Here, in the “Wild East” of the empire, an eternal conflict of circumstances versus personality arises, where only one winner is possible.
