About this title

Synopsis

“The Master ” is a 1907 novel by British author Israel Zangwill (1864–1926). A thought-provoking novel that tackles such issues as class and the creation of art, based on the life of his friend and illustrator George Wylie Hutchinson. Contents include: “Solitude”, “The Dead Man Makes His First And Last Appearance”, “The Thoughts Of Youth”, “'Man Proposes'”, “Peggy The Water-Drinker”, “Disillusions”, etc. 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.
