Rose of the Ghetto - A Short Story e-bog

"e;A Rose of the Ghetto"e; is a 1919 short story by British author Israel Zangwill (1864-1926). This amusing tale of English countryside and customs is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Zangwill's much-celebrated work. 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;. 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.
