The King of Schnorrers is a novel written by Israel Zangwill. It is set in the Jewish ghetto of London in the late 19th century and follows the story of a young man named Zangwill who becomes a schnorrer, or professional beggar. Despite his lowly status, Zangwill is determined to become the king of all schnorrers, and he sets out on a series of adventures to achieve this goal. Along the way, he encounters a variety of colorful characters, including other schnorrers, wealthy Jews, and members of the criminal underworld. Through his experiences, Zangwill learns about the harsh realities of life in the ghetto and the struggles faced by those who live there. The King of Schnorrers is a humorous and insightful look at a little-known aspect of Jewish life in Victorian London.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
