Summary

"Jurek Becker was one of the giants of postwar German literature. The novel for which he is best-known, Jacob the Liar, won wide acclaim, was awarded the Heinrich Mann and Charles Veillon prizes, and was made into two movies. It has been called "a novel about the martyrdom of Europe's Jews that has never been surpassed" (Times Literary Supplement). The Wall is a new, brief collection of stories by Becker that either have never been translated into English or have never been published here in book form before"--, Provided by publisher
