Lyudmila Ulitskaya’s novel “Daniel Stein, Translator” is a literary sensation of recent years. Huge circulations (and we are talking about composing a complex, far from fiction), disputes, finally, the Big Book Award.
Daniel Stein (the hero has a specific prototype), with a risk to life (he is a Jew himself), saves about three hundred ghetto prisoners during the Second World War. At the end of the war, he, having baptized, becomes a Catholic priest and leaves for Israel, where he continues to serve people - that is how he understands his mission. The acute issues of faith are full -fledged heroes of the narrative, although L. Ulitskaya has repeatedly said that she is not theologian and does not engage in preaching, but just talks about a person unique in her honesty and courage
