Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Handful of Exotics: Scenes and Incidents Chiefly of Russo-Jewish Life This is an age of exploration for the ethnographer no less than for the geographer. We are intruding into the penetralia of unknown territories, we are making inroads into the mysteries, yet unsolved, of the thoughts, customs, and observances of alien races. The ethnographer´s function is rendered more urgent by the duty he owes to the interests of the spirit of future inquiry; he must take an impress of individual peoples before the barriers of isolation, behind which they have preserved their individuality unimpaired, are broken down by the onward sweep of progress, the ultimate, if far-off, goal of which seems to be cosmopolitanism. It would be ludicrous were I to put forward these few tales as even the slightest contribution to the science.
