Det ligger en tjock, våt dimma över London den morgonen. Hyresvärdinnan mrs Drabdump knackar på dörren till sin hyresgäst, Arthur Constant. Men hon får inget svar. Och rummet är egendomligt tyst. Hon springer genast över till den berömda detektiven George Grodman, som bor på andra sidan gatan. Han följer med henne tillbaka och när han får upp dörren ser han en förfärlig syn: Arthur Constants döda kropp. Detta är inledningen på ett intrikat mysterium, som leder den geniala detektiven Constant på ständigt oväntade spår ...Israel Zangwill (1864 - 1926) var en brittisk författare. Han var berömd för sitt arbete för judisk kulturs bevarande, men också för sina intrikata, lekfulla deckare.
Israel Zangwill, an Anglo-Jewish author and son of immigrants, wrote The Melting-Pot to demonstrate how immigrants could become good American citizens, hoping to forestall the kinds of restrictions - particularly against Russian Jews - that had been enacted in his home country. This edition presents the play in its historical context.
Children of the Ghetto by Israel Zangwill was published in 1892. It documents the lives of immigrant Jews who lived and worked in the Yiddish-speaking streets and densely packed alleys emptying into London's Petticoat Lane, the East End bazaar that was both marketplace and communal watering hole. Zangwill's portrayal of the uncertain situation of 'his people,' which all too often had been painted in dreadfully sombre tones by earnest social reformers and drum-beating evangelists, is insightfully told with affectionate honesty and wryness of humour. Introduction by social historian and Victorian Series editor, Bob Biderman.
