Publisher's Synopsis
With an excellent translation, a modern language and faithful to the original: this is how this edition of "The Revenge of the Jew" is presented, one of the best sellers by author John Wilmont Earl of Rochester, a master in the art of weaving unusual plots, describes in detail the characters, their feelings, and the plot in which they are involved.
Written in a strong, vivacious and noble style, this work tells the story of a rich Jewish banker who falls in love with a Christian Countess, but because of her origin and religion, he cannot be with her lover.
Next, he uses a subterfuge that will mark his entire career and that of the other characters, in a succession of events in which expressions of selfishness and love alternate, but which reveal, in the background, the sublime feelings of faith and sorry.
