註釋

In his later stories, Weissbrem is concerned with the cause of Jewish nationalism and the lot of the Jewish people in Poland, which is to say, in part, with the invidious horrors of anti-Semitism. Weissbrem was both a Jew and a Polish patriot, and he often uses the novel as a rhetorical forum for discussing the nature of Polish anti-Semitism and for defending his fellows against charges of usury and lack of interest in Polish national life. Frequently these rhetorical devices lead plot and structure: There is an unabashed resort to sentimentality and melodrama and to Coincidence on a grand scale. But Weissbrem's stories, despite these weaknesses that are sometimes fatal to tension and drama, still shed an intense and sympathetic light on Jewish social conditions in Eastern Europe during the second half of the nineteenth century.
