Book Description
In 1929 French journalist Albert Londres (Inspiration for the cartoon character Tintin) set out to document the lives of Jews. In the East End of London, he is moved by their unswerving faith. In eastern Europe he is astounded by their miserable plight. With gentle humor and a sharp eye he draws unforgettable portraits of the exotic individuals he encounters along the way. He vividly depicts the birth of Zionism and the wave of anti-semitic pogroms that propelled Jewish Immigration to Palestine. There he discovers the proud "new Jew" while his on-site reporting of the horrific Arab massacres of the Jews of Hebron and Safed exposes an age-old animosity still very much alive today. Presciently, Londres foresees that the Jews, despite their small numbers, will pay the Arabs 'back in kind' and ultimately regain their homeland. This literary masterpiece transports readers back to a pivotal moment in history and offers invaluable insights on Jewish life in the early twentieth century, on the formative years that preceded the State of Israel, and on the strife that has engulfed the region ever since. The Wandering Jew Has Arrived is as relevant today as when first penned. Book jacket.
