NOVEL OF JEWRY t s ‘ THE DARK PILGRIMAGE By Jacob Wassermann Publisher Liveright Publishing Corporation New York the translation- by Cyrus H Brooks of Jacob Wassermann’s THIS volume novel written some thirty-od- d years ago gives evidence why Wassermann- who died since its publication came to be held one of the greatest story-telle- rs among German writers And it shows also that his purpose was never the mere weaving of a story his books are always deeply intent on set- -' ting forth the spiritual gropings and the social inadjustment of Jews in Ger-maIn this novel published in Germany as "The Jews of Zirndorf” his concern was the1 fate of the race harried and persecuted and distraught with new visions but the book is so enwrapped in mysticism anf abounding with symbolic figures that only the most earnest student of Wassermann’s ideas might divine all its meaning There is a long prologue in which is told the story of Sabbatai Zevi that mysterious prophet of the seventeenth century whose rise in Smyrna and whose claim to be the new Messiah set in turmoil the Jews all over Europe They believed he had come as deliverer of Jewry when he announced he would lead the tribes back to the Holy Land they forgot their rites and their synagogues forsaking their homes to follow him Among the Jews of the Franconian town of Furth scenes of the wildest excitement prevail young and old rabbi and maiden join in abandoned orgies visions and The hysteria culprophecies abound even the Christians are infected minates in decision to obey the Messianic call and join the pilgrimage to Zion Their journey is but a little way through rain and mud when they are attacked by the soldiery many are killed others die in a forest fire and the survivors are met with the report that the Messiah has failed them has gone over to Islam Several families of this remnant of the caravan do not return to Furth forming a settlement in the Rednitz valley which later becomes Zirndorf And here two centuries after another “Messiah” arises from among the descendants of these Jews the youth Agathon Geyer Agathon rejects the Jewish religion and refuses Christianity he speaks truths that confound the He stern orthodoxy of his schoolmasters and is banned from school possesses a strange power over people by willing it he causes the death of Sperling the innkeeper who hates all Jews and the touch of his hand can restore the dead and dying He feels an intense pity for the troubled people yet his mystic powers are exerted in no definite way In truth Agathon seems to move without any 'real purpose through the dramatic happenings of the period His vision of the world as it is only brings him realization of its need of a savior The turmoil of these days is like in many aspects to the ferment of the earlier period and its chief characters have similarity to those of the past drama but their symbolism is confused the whole picture so bewildering it is difficult to determine its exact Significance Wassermann himself in his autobiographical work "My Life as German and Jew” said “I wrote as one relates a dream or as if under inescapable compulsion the book and confession it liberated me from the
