Produktbeschreibung
First published in 1910, "Chosen Peoples" is a treatise by British author Israel Zangwill that explores the idea of the Jews as "chosen people", exploring its origins, meaning, problems, criticisms, historical importance, and much more in a fascinating and in-depth study of the subject. Israel 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". This vintage book will appeal to those with an interest in Judaism and Zionism, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. 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.
