A FEW PRESS OPINIONS
ON
"AARON THE JEW."
BY
B. L. FARJEON.
* * * *
Globe.
"Aaron is a most engaging figure; nothing loftier, purer, sweeter, can
be imagined than the beautiful tie which unites him to his gentle,
true-hearted Rachel."
Speaker.
"In many respects a really powerful story, strong and sympathetic. The
book is infinitely superior in tone and motive to much of the current
fiction."
Guardian.
"A very tender and touching sketch, showing what a beautiful and noble
life is possible to a Jew who would really live in the true spirit of
his simple faith and the best traditions of his people. Charming
pictures of Jewish household life.... Exceedingly pleasant to read."
Daily Telegraph.
"Written with earnestness, sincerity, and lively sympathy with all that
is good, generous, and tender."
The Scotsman.
"Powerful studies of lofty human character. It is full of genuine
life, of real men and women, and of sustained interest.... A
delightful story. 'Aaron the Jew' is a strong and original piece of
work, and will well repay perusal."
Lady's Pictorial.
"This book has been received with such a chorus of praise that nothing
is left to say. It is the best novel that Mr. Farjeon has produced
since 'Grif.'"
Glasgow Herald.
"'Aaron the Jew' is a benevolent and beautiful character. The story is
an interesting one."
Western Morning News.
"Mr. Farjeon has never written a more natural and touching story than
this of 'Aaron the Jew.' All his characters are of an attractive and
noble-minded type."
Westminster Gazette.
"Very simply and touchingly written; rises to the level of real
pathos."
Jewish Chronicle.
"The book is interesting, and is a worthy addition to the Jewish
stories which are so much in fashion just now."
Jewish World.
"'Aaron the Jew' is a contribution to light fiction, all the more
welcome because its very slightness may cause it to be read by people
who still know nothing of Jews and Judaism, and so tend to remove
senseless prejudices."
Record.
"A powerfully written work."
World.
