Jacob, a Jewish slave held in a mountain village after escaping a
massacre by Cossacks, will be killed if he tries to escape. The one
saving grace is his love for his master's daughter, Wanda. They
begin a secret affair, trying to avoid the cruelty of the other
villagers, until one day Jacob's fortunes unexpectedly change. Now
he must choose between his need to be with his people and his love
for Wanda, who in turn will also discover the meaning of brutality.
In The Slave, published in 1962, Isaac Bashevis Singer creates a
dreamlike portrayal of isolation, rejection, love and the meaning
of sacrifice.
