À propos de l'auteur
Israel Zangwill, born on February 14, 1864, in London, was a prominent British-Jewish novelist, playwright, and social activist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His body of work reflects upon the multifaceted experiences of the Jewish community, often delving into themes of assimilation, identity, and social justice.
