This 1898 collection of essays profiles famous Jews “who have arisen in the Ghetto from its establishment in the sixteenth century to its slow breaking-up of our own day.” Portraits include Baruch Spinoza, Heinrich Heine, Ferdinand Lassalle, Felix Mendelssohn, Immanuel Kant, Sabbatai Zevi, Solomon Maimon, and Benjamin Disraeli.
Über den Autor
Israel Zangwill (1864-1926) was born in London to Jewish immigrants from Czarist Russia. A playwright, novelist, and humorist, he often took on the subjects of Zionism, Jewish nationalism and assimilation, as well as feminism and pacifism. His 1908 play The Melting Pot popularized the titular phrase and his 1891 The Big Bow Mystery has been called the first locked-room murder novel.
