A Curable Romantic

In "A Curable Romantic," Dr. Jakob Sammelsohn, a man marked by multiple marriages and personal loss by the age of twelve, escapes his small village and embarks on a journey through history, guided by the ghost of his late wife. His adventures take him to 1890 Vienna, where he encounters Sigmund Freud and romances Emma Eckstein, and later becomes involved with the wealthy Loe Bernfeld amidst the Esperanto movement. As Dr. Sammelsohn's path leads him to the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940, he grapples with themes of love, exile, and fate in this imaginative and richly woven tale of personal and collective history.
