Through the eyes of David Quixano, a Jewish musician, Zangwill confronts the notion of "e pluribus unum" and the transformative power of love across cultural divides. Ideal for students and civic activists, this work invites readers to reflect on the ideals of unity and diversity that shape modern society. Discover how Zangwill's poignant narrative resonates with contemporary discussions on identity and belonging.
