The stories imagine the lives of everyday Jewish people, including a German painter searching for a Jewish model, a Town Councillor suppressing his Jewish heritage, and a young Jewish girl blamed for spreading smallpox. The tales earned Zangwill comparisons to Dickens and helped to establish him as an author with a gift for intensive character study and a passion for political themes. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 266 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 February 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: West Margin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGhetto Comedies (1907) is a collection of stories by Israel Zangwill, a writer who intimately understood the struggles of the Jewish community in London.
