This homage to one of the
world's great stories collects the Wandering Jew's many English-language
manifestations, a fascinating journey down the tangled roads of European
Literature, as infinite as those Ahasuerus is still walking. This
collection offers you the chance to hitch a lift on the immortal sufferer's
back. It's not the sort of offer anybody should turn down.
