Gordon, Samuel. Ferry of fate: a tale of Russian Jewry. †$1.50. Duffield.
7–12695.
Two young Jews, after struggling for two years against poverty and opposition in the Odessa University, come under the ban of expulsion. One is reinstated because he finds favor with the prefect, who lures him into an assistant secretaryship, demanding that origin and religion be forgotten. The other goes back to his little town and with his people takes up the cudgel against the government. The story follows the mental agony of the traitor Jew and the retribution which human justice fixes for his portion.
