Grey Wig - Stories and Novelettes e-bog

"e;The Grey Wig"e; is a 1923 collection of short stories by British author Israel Zangwill (1864-1926). They include: "e;The Grey Wig"e;, "e;Chasse-Croise"e;, "e;The Woman Beater"e;, "e;The Eternal Feminine"e;, "e;The Silent Sisters"e;, "e;The Big Bow Mystery"e;, "e;Merely Mary Ann"e;, "e;The Serio-Comic Governess"e;, etc. Israel Zangwill 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 "e;the Dickens of the Ghetto"e;. Other notable works by this author include: "e;Dreamers of the Ghetto"e; (1898), "e;Grandchildren of the Ghetto"e; (1892 ), and "e;Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People"e; (1892). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from "e;English Humourists of To-Day"e; by J. A. Hammerton.
