Beneath the gritty surface of industrial England, an ancient and persecuted people continue to love and dream. Subtitled “Being Pictures of a Peculiar People, ” this influential 1892 early work of Anglo-Jewish fiction, set in London’s East End, brought its author fame—and comparisons to Dickens and Twain—for his humanity and humor.
Sobre o 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.
