Julio Jurenito (Russian: Необичайные похождения Хулио Хуренито и его учеников, The Extraordinary Adventures of Julio Jurenito and his Disciples) is a modernist novel by Soviet author Ilya Ehrenburg. It was his first novel, and considered to be one of his best works (maybe add more here)
The book was written in a month in 1921 and published by Berlin-based press Gelikon in 1922. It was well-received.(source: Mark Lipovetsky write more about specific reactions) Despite this it was repressed etc etc etc brain too dead for details
write something about how Ehrenburg considered it his favorite novel blablabla etc
Summary
[edit]The narrator, also named Ilya Ehrenburg, arrives in France on 26 March 1913. In the Café de la Rotonde, he meets a young Mexican named Julio Jurenito, and begins to treat him as a "Teacher". Jurenito is a cynical man of limitless talents, such as the ability to speak a countless amount of languages. Jurenito has six "disciples" - an American named Mr. Cool, a Russian named Alexey Spiridonovich Tishin, a French undertaker named Delet, a German named Schmidt, an Italian named Bombacci, and a young Senegalese boy named Aisha. Each are parodies of racial and national stereotypes of the time. Jurenito takes on Ehrenburg as his 7th disciple. this is not the end of the summary write more
At the end, Jurenito dies on 12 March 1921 in Konotop.

Henrietta Mondry argues that Julio Jurenito is a crypto-Jewish figure. Although Jurenito is never stated to have Jewish heritage, and is in fact stated to be born a Catholic, Mondry points to how the narrator perceives Jurenito on their first meeting to be hiding horns and a tail, and connects this to European antisemitic depictions of Jews secretly hiding diabolical physical characteristics, such as horns and a tail, and argues that in this way, Ehrenburg marks Jurenito as a Jew. Mondry also notes that Jurenito criticizes Christianity, possibly because he is free from Christianity, and that he takes seven disciples (with 7 being a sacred number in Judaism), rather than 12 disciples, as Jesus had. Mondry argues that this was an intentional decision on Ehrenburg's part - as he was Jewish, he was likely not unaware of these implications.[1]

Reception
[edit]Julio Jurenito was the first novel published by Ehrenburg, and established his reputation as a writer in the USSR. Yevgeny Zamyatin, Marietta Shaginian, Viktor Shklovsky, Mikhail Lifshitz and Lev Lunts all praised the novel highly, while Yury Tynianov held a negative opinion of the novel.[2],[3] Nadezhda Krupskaya, wife of Vladimir Lenin, wrote that she had read Jurenito to him during his illness in 1921, and that he had enjoyed the book. (It is inferred he was read a censored version of the novel, as Ehrenburg mocks Lenin in Julio Jurenito).[4] Julio Jurenito is commonly considered to be among the best of Ehrenburg's works, especially when compared to his later fiction.[5][6][7][8] In 2008, Russian newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta listed it #46 of the greatest 100 novels of all time.[9]

In the heady nihilism of the postwar 1920's, Ehrenburg published his best novel, The Extraordinary Adventures of Julio Jurenito and His Disciples....This novel, and Ehrenburg's last work, his memoirs People, Years, Life, are probably all that will continue to be read. The rest, like the man himself, belongs to history.
