“The Turbulent Life of Lazik Roytshvanets” (1927, published in Russia 1989) is one of the most famous novels by Ilya Grigorievich Ehrenburg (1891–1967), an outstanding writer, poet, translator. Lazik Roytshwanets - “Jewish Schweik”, as he called it Western critics dubbed, perhaps, one of the most amazing heroes of Ilya Ehrenburg. This “masculine tailor from the most ordinary Gomel” embodies the perky and prickly wisdom of Josef Schweik and the spicy, Old Testament wisdom of Babel’s Rebbe Aryeh Leib and Rebbe Motele. Lazik, the greatest expert on Hasidic legends, always has a corresponding parable ready for any, even the most desperate, life situation. Fate drives him around the world (from Gomel to Palestine), he passes through 19 (!) prisons, and in the rapid and confused moments of being free, he works in the most unimaginable jobs: as a monkey in an attraction, as a rabbit breeder (on paper), as a seller of anti-venereology brochures. , a film actor (playing the role of the “spirit of the eastern steppes”), an honest candidate of Harchsmak, a writer-biologist, a living advertisement in a pharmacy, a dealer in smuggled cloth, and, in the end, a mourner at the Western Wall. And his whole turbulent life is described in this book.
