Dreamers of the Ghetto (1892) is a collection of stories by Israel
Zangwill. Raised in London by parents from Latvia and Poland,
Zangwill understood the plight of the city's Jewish community
firsthand. Having risen through poverty to become an educator and
author, he dedicated his career to the voiceless, the oppressed,
and the needy, advocating for their rights and bearing witness to
their suffering in some of the most powerful novels and stories of
the Victorian era. "This is a Chronicle of Dreamers, who have
arisen in the Ghetto from its establishment in the sixteenth
century to its slow breaking-up in our own day. Some have become
historic in Jewry, others have penetrated to the ken of the greater
world and afforded models to illustrious artists in letters..." As
a Jewish immigrant who grew up in poverty in London, Israel
Zangwill knows that the condition of life in the ghetto changes not
just lives, but mentalities. In the third installment of his Ghetto
series, Zangwill imagines the lives of such historical Jewish
figures as Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza, German poet Heinrich
Heine, and Prussian lawyer and political activist Ferdinand
Lasalle. The tales of Jewish life in Dreamers of the Ghetto earned
Zangwill comparisons to Dickens upon publication, and helped to
establish him as an author with a gift for intensive character
study and a passion for political themes. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Israel Zangwill's Dreamers of the Ghetto is a classic of British
literature reimagined for modern readers.
