The Books of Jacob, Olga Tokarczuk—awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature—tells the story of Jacob Frank through the eyes of those who knew him, weaving together the voices of his contemporaries. Set in Enlightenment-era Europe on the brink of profound social and religious upheaval, the novel follows Frank, a charismatic and controversial spiritual leader, as he challenges established faiths, attracts devoted followers, and sparks scandal with his unorthodox beliefs, all while individuals around him grapple with questions of certainty, identity, and the search for transcendence.
