Olga Tokachuk, born in 1962, is one of the most influential novelists in contemporary Poland. She is good at incorporating elements such as folklore, myths and religious stories into her works, and observing the historical destiny and real life of Poland. He won the jury award of "Nike Myth Award", the highest honor in Polish literature, twice and the reader's choice award of "Nike Myth Award" four times. In 20 14, Tokachuk's new work The Book of Jacob was published. This novel, which combines Polish and Jewish history in the18th century, won the Nike Myth Award that year, but it was also attacked by nationalists.
People think this is a novel that denigrates the image of Jews and Poland, accusing Tokachuk of being a traitor, leaving abusive messages on the Internet, depriving her of her citizenship in New Luda, and even threatening her with death. From the hot Polish national writer to the public enemy attacked by compatriots, the subversion of the whole identity is a matter of one book.
