1st Edition. Original Boards with Original Dust Jacket. [xix], 281 pages ; 24 cm.In English. Zalkind Hourwitz lived during one of the most pivotal periods in history. A Polish Jew born in 1752, Hourwitz moved to France in 1774 and entered the intellectual and political life of ancien regime Paris. Frances Malino provides a vivid description of this compelling and exotic figure who fits none of the traditional portraits of eighteenth-century Jews. An investigation of his experiences in the French capital during this period challenges our previous understanding of Jewish emancipation, provides an additional perspective on revolutionary Paris (from that of both Jew and foreigner) and adds another dimension to the historiography of the French Revolution. SUBJECT(S): Jews -- France -- Biography. Sharpie mark on inside page. In very good+ condition, dust jacket also very good condition.
