Determined to claw his way out of Montreal's Jewish ghetto, young Duddy Kravitz takes to heart his grandfather's maxim that "a man without land is nobody." In his relentless pursuit of property and a big-time reputation, this cynical dreamer lies, cheats, and hurts everyone who loves him. Ruthless and yet oddly endearing, Duddy is one of the most charismatic anti-heroes of all time -- a man who learns the hard way that dreams are not exactly what they seem, even when they come true. The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz established Richler as one of North America's great comic writers. Abridged by ther author himself and featuring the melodious voice of Broadway's Paul Hecht, this superb archival recording captures the frenetic pacing and sharp wit of the 1959 masterpiece.
