The Jewess

The Jewess: A Tale From The Shores Of The Baltic is a historical novel written by Elizabeth Eastlake in 1843. The story takes place in the 17th century in the city of Danzig, which is now known as Gdä¿¿¿¿sk in Poland. It follows the life of Rachel, a young Jewish woman who is forced to flee her home during a violent pogrom. Rachel's journey takes her through various trials and tribulations as she struggles to survive in a world that is hostile to her people. Along the way, she meets a Christian man named Gustav who falls in love with her, but their relationship is complicated by the religious and cultural differences between them. The novel explores themes of religious intolerance, prejudice, and the struggle for acceptance in a society that is deeply divided by class and ethnicity. The Jewess is a compelling and thought-provoking work of historical fiction that offers a glimpse into the lives of Jewish people in Eastern Europe during a turbulent period of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
