This book tells of the extraordinary life and adventures of a Jewish boy from Poland who lost his parents, was left completely alone in the world, had more than once been on the brink of death—and still survived despite the blows of fate. While reading it, you’re constantly afraid for the hero, but you also rejoice when, thanks to his quick thinking, courage, and charm, the hero overcomes all the misfortunes that fall to his lot. The book teaches how to fight for life, not to fall into despair, and to find and discover solutions even in the most hopeless circumstances. You can’t just go with the flow—you must build your fate yourself.
