Description
An 1892 tale of London’s Jewish East End, Israel Zangwill groups the seemingly illogical and distinctly impolite devout customs of relocated eastern European Jews alongside the forces of integration. Israel Zangwill’s awareness of Yiddishkeit and talent in stage show made a chain of memorable monographs that had a crucial impression on the public view of this far branded settling faction.

The novel is proposed as a study, over emblematic characters, of a populace whose tenacity is the very astonishing piece of information in the annals of the earth, the belief and principles of which it has much widely sculpted.
