AB "Bolesław Prus and the Jews shows the complexity of the so-called "Jewish question" in nineteenth-century Congress Poland and especially its significance in Prus' social concept reflected in his extensive body of journalistic work, fiction, and treatises. The book traces Prus' evolving worldview toward Jews, from his support of the Assimilation Program in his early years to his eventual support of Zionism. These contrasting ideas show us the complexity of the discourse on Jewish issues from the individual perspective of a significant writer of the time, as well as the dynamics of the Jewish modernization process in a "non-existent" partitioned Poland. The portrait of Prus that emerges is surprisingly ambivalent"-- NO Includes bibliographical references CN PG7158.G62 K1 Prus, Bolesław : 1847-1912 : Political and social views K1 Prus, Bolesław K1 Authors, Polish : 19th century : Attitudes K1 Jews in literature K1 Antisemitism : Poland K1 Jews : Poland : Social conditions K1 Antisemitism K1 Ethnic Relations K1 Jews ; Social conditions K1 Political and social views K1 Poland : Ethnic relations K1 Poland K1 Electronic books
