    About this ebook

    “Ghetto Comedies” is a 1907 novel by British author Israel Zangwill (1864–1926). Contents include: “How I Found The Model”, “The Model's Story”, “The Picture Evolves”, “I Become A Sorter”, “Last Stage Of All”, “Anglicization”, “The Jewish Trinity”, etc. Highly recommended for fans and collectors of Zangwill's seminal literature.

    Zangwill 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. Other notable works by this author include: “Dreamers of the Ghetto” (1898) and “Ghetto Tragedies” (1899). 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.

    Israel Zangwill

    Zangwill, the son of Latvian and Polish immigrants, was born in London’s East End and showed literary promise as early as eighteen. A teacher for some years after he graduated from London University, he eventually left the profession to write full-time, publishing hundreds of essays, as well as novels, short stories and plays produced in London and New York. His work concentrated on political, social and Jewish issues but The Big Bow Mystery was his only venture into detective fiction.
