Synopsis
For half a millennium the Jews of Europe were confined to ghettos and remote villages. Then, in the aftermath of Napoleon Bonaparte, they were suddenly free to mingle with the rest of the population, and subsequently began to provide great contributions to the economic, intellectual, and cultural renaissances of the 19th and 20th centuries. Acclaimed radio broadcaster Michael Goldfarb examines this golden age in Jewish life and culture, and tells the stories of its many famous figures--Einstein, Proust, Marx--as well as other lesser known but equally fascinating Jewish individuals of the era. EMANCIPATION is wonderfully researched and written book that illuminates the suddenly altered world as Jews moved from the fringes of society into the center of European culture.

Publisher's Note
The author offers the first popular history of the emancipation of Europe's Jews in the 18th and 19th centuries--a transformation that was startling to those that lived through it and continues to affect the world today.
