Bøger af Amy Levy

New introduces the world of Amy Levy, a talented Anglo-Jewish writer who committed suicide in 1889 aged 28. During her brief career she published essays, short stories, three novels and three collections of poetry, but none of them is in print today. A selection of her work is included here.

Oscar Wilde wrote of this novel, "Its directness, its uncompromising truths, its depth of feeling, and above all, its absence of any single superfluous word, make Reuben Sachs, in some sort, a classic.” Reuben Sachs, the story of an extended Anglo-Jewish family in London, focuses on the relationship between two cousins, Reuben Sachs and Judith Quixano, and the tensions between their Jewish identities and English society.
