Beskrivelse

In this powerful 1892 novel set in Londons Jewish East End, Israel Zangwill masterfully contrasts the seemingly bizarre and often misunderstood religious practices of Eastern European Jewish immigrants with the pressures of assimilation. Through his deep understanding of Yiddishkeit and a flair for melodrama, Zangwill crafts a series of unforgettable vignettes that shaped public perceptions of this often-stigmatized community. Born in London to Russian and Polish parents, Zangwill (1864-1926) is also credited with coining the term melting pot, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of his time. (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis)
