“The Wandering Jew Has Arrived” by Albert Londres is a book centered on a series of articles that Londres wrote for the French newspaper Le Parisien.
His descriptions of the Jews he encounters are equal parts intense and flattering; Londres is clearly has a noble respect and admiration for the Jewish people. This is a welcome relief to one so accustomed to reading the current mainstream media.
This book is an English translation of a book written in 1930 about the varied experience of Jews and the beginning of Zionism from the late 19th century to the first quarter of the 20th century. It does focus on the different experiences of those living in various geographic locations and different approaches to what it means to be a Jew and living in Europe or the States. And asks the question of should we move to the, then, new settlement of Tel Aviv amongst other choices in Palestine.
Nearing the end we are exposed to the tragic situation as it relates the difficulty, and bloodshed, between the Arabs and Jews in Palestine.
