"The Chosen People: The First 'Arthur Davis Memorial Lecture' delivered before the Jewish Historical Society at University College on Easter Sunday, 1918/5678" by Israel Zangwill. This work is thoughtful and absent from traditional literary reviews. The author analyzes the concept of the "chosen peoples", highlighting it in the context of the history and culture of the Jewish people. Zangwill's lecture is marked by an in-depth study of the topic, an analysis of attitudes towards it across cultures and a determination of its impact on society. The knowledge imparted to the reader makes the book extremely valuable for understanding the history and identity of the Jewish people.
