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.

Det ligger en tjock, våt dimma över London den morgonen. Hyresvärdinnan mrs Drabdump knackar på dörren till sin hyresgäst, Arthur Constant. Men hon får inget svar. Och rummet är egendomligt tyst. Hon springer genast över till den berömda detektiven George Grodman, som bor på andra sidan gatan. Han följer med henne tillbaka och när han får upp dörren ser han en förfärlig syn: Arthur Constants döda kropp. Detta är inledningen på ett intrikat mysterium, som leder den geniala detektiven Constant på ständigt oväntade spår ...Israel Zangwill (1864 - 1926) var en brittisk författare. Han var berömd för sitt arbete för judisk kulturs bevarande, men också för sina intrikata, lekfulla deckare.
