The Bloody Hoax (Yiddish: דער בלוטיקער שפאס : א אויסערגעווענלעכער ראמאן, romanized: Der blutiker shpas: a oysergevenlekher roman) is a novel by Sholem Aleichem written in Yiddish. It was first published serialized in a Warsaw daily Haynt in 1912. The idea was same as in The Prince and the Pauper: two school friends, a Russian, Grigory "Grisha" Popov, and a Jew, Hershel "Hershke" Rabinovich, decide to swap identities and to live each other's life for a year. The title refers to the twist of the plot: the Russian (Christian) young man fell victim of a blood libel, being accused of killing a Christian child. It was hastily written during the times of the Beilis Affair, and a vast majority of contemporary and later critics considered it to be a failure. Probably for this reason it was not republished nor translated for quite a long time. It later times it started to be considered of historical/ethnographical interest.
