Beskrivelse
'Ghetto Tragedies' is a 1899 novel by British author Israel Zangwill. Contents include: 'They That Walk In Darkness', 'Transitional', 'Noah's Ark', 'The Land Of Promise', 'To Die In Jerusalem', 'Bethulah', 'The Keeper Of Conscience', etc. Zangwill (1864-1926) was a leading figure in cultural Zionism during the 19th century, as well as close friend of father of modern political Zionism, Theodor Herzl. In later life, he renounced the seeking of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. A notable portion of Zangwill's work concentrated on ghetto life and earned him the nickname 'the Dickens of the Ghetto'. Other notable works by this author include: 'Dreamers of the Ghetto' (1898), 'Grandchildren of the Ghetto' (1892 ), and 'Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People' (1892).This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from 'English Humourists of To-Day' by J. A. Hammerton.
