Beschrijving

Dive into a collection of captivating stories by Israel Zangwill that blend humor and tragedy in delightful ways. Renowned for his sharp and insightful depictions of the Jewish ghetto, Zangwills narratives extend beyond their locale, cleverly critiquing social norms and the fabric of society, both high and low. Experience a world where the real and the fantastical intertwine, featuring a pantomime dragon, an impeccable butler, a man living life out of sequence, and a Jewish maiden who values herself highly. With keen observations and original wit, the satire is both biting and sparkling. Many tales in this collection are beautifully illustrated, enhancing the reading experience. Note that the novella King of Schnorrers, the work that sparked this collection, has been recorded separately and is not included here; this volume focuses solely on the shorter stories.
