Shadows of War, Dreams of Heroes
In October 1939, as Nazi forces tighten their grip on Europe, nineteen-year-old Josef Kavalier orchestrates a breathtaking escape from Prague hidden inside a coffin alongside the legendary Golem of Jewish folklore. This daring feat-worthy of his hero Houdini-marks the beginning of an odyssey that will transform American popular culture. Arriving rain-soaked at his cousin Sammy Clay's Brooklyn apartment, Joe finds an unexpected kindred spirit. Despite legs weakened by childhood polio, seventeen-year-old Sammy possesses boundless creative ambition and dreams of becoming a novelist. Within hours of meeting, these two young Jewish men recognize in each other the missing pieces of their creative aspirations-Joe's European artistic sophistication perfectly complementing Sammy's gift for plotting and dialogue. Their partnership crystallizes in a moment of revelation on a fire escape, where Sammy experiences what he calls "the pang of creation"-not mere envy of Joe's acrobatic prowess, but a visceral understanding of how to transform those qualities into heroic narrative. This spark ignites just as Superman's debut revolutionizes the comic book industry, creating unprecedented demand for costumed heroes. With perfect timing and raw talent, they approach Sheldon Anapol at Empire Novelty Company, who reluctantly agrees to back their venture into this emerging medium.
