2022 Reprint of the 1927 edition. The subject of this brilliant novel is the daily life of an English family in the Hebrides. "There are dozens of passages in which the secret relations of men and women, especially women, to the trifling events of life are rendered with convincing and elaborate subtlety. To have written them is to have surpassed, in this one respect, almost every contemporary novelist."-The Saturday Review "Virginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of modernism in England and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realization of experimental achievements that have completely broken with tradition.-New York Times "To the Lighthouse is one of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time." -Margaret Drabble "Without question one of the two or three finest novels of the twentieth century. Woolf comments on the most pressing dramas of our human predicament: war, mortality, family, love. If you're like me you'll come back to this book often, always astounded, always moved, always refreshed." -Rick Moody "[Woolf's] people are astoundingly real...The tragic futility, the absurdity, the pathetic beauty, of life-we experience all of this in our sharing of seven hours of Mrs. Ramsay's wasted or not wasted existence. We have seen, through her, the world." -Conrad Aiken

Williams attempts to trace the diffusion, from the Nile to the Niger, of the many Hebrewisms that are to be found among the tribes of West Africa, especially the Ashanti. His goal is to establish the continuity of the Old Testament concept of a Supreme Being in its diffusion throughout the world and especially among the tribes of West Africa.

"In 1910 the Dixie Publishing Company Published The Jew a Negro by Rev. Arthur T. Abernethy, a preacher, professor and rustic journalist. The author sought to demonstrate through "ethnology" and "Scriptural proofs" that 'the Jew of today, as well as his ancestors in other times, is the kinsman and descendant of the Negro.' Behind the book lay a century of transatlantic speculation on the racial status of the Jew." Leonard Rogoff, Is the Jew White?: The Racial Place of the Southern Jew. 1997.
