Hammerton","description":"Originally published in \"Harper's Magazine\" in 1903 and 1904, \"Italian Fantasies\" is a 1910 work by British author Israel Zangwill (1864-1926). Highly recommended for those with an interest in Italy and Italian history. Contents include: \"Of Beauty, Faith, And Death - A Rhapsody By Way Of Prelude\", \"Fantasia Napolitana - Being A Reverie Of Aquariums, Museums, And Dead Christs\", \"The Carpenter's Wife - A Capriccio\", \"The Earth The Centre Of The Universe - Or The Absurdity Of Astronomy\", \"Of Autocosms Without Facts - Or The Emptiness Of Religions\", etc. Israel 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. A notable portion of Zangwill's work concentrated on ghetto life and earned him the nickname \"the Dickens of the Ghetto\". Other notable works by this author include: \"Dreamers of the Ghetto\" (1898), \"Grandchildren of the Ghetto\" (1892 ), and \"Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People\" (1892). 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Israel Zangwill,J. a.
