Adam Resurrected (Hebrew: אדם בן כלב, romanized: Adam ben Kelev) is a 1969 novel by Israeli author Yoram Kaniuk. The Hebrew title literally translates to Adam, Son of a Dog. The novel tells a story of a Holocaust survivor, a Jewish German clown Adam Stein who had to play this role in the Nazi extermination camp, in particular, he had to act as camp commandant's dog. Stein's strong inner identification with a dog prevents him from the integration into the society of Israel. Due to its many allegorical meanings, the novel is often compared to One Hundred Years of Solitude. It was translated into English by Seymour Simckes in 1971.
