✦ Synopsis

Korolenko's answer to the growing antisemitism of the 1880s, 'The Day of Atonement is an integral part of Ukrainian folklore. It is centred on the Jewish holiday 'Yom Kippur' and tells the tale of Yankel, an entrepreneur who makes a deal with the devil in order to save his soul. Korolenko uses a strong, almost caricaturistic tone in order to remind us that Jew's were not inherently sinful, but rather innocent products of a dysfunctional society. His thoughtful commentary on religion and exclusion is reminiscent of Dostoyevsky and unmissable for fans of Russian literature.-
