The Revenge of the Jew. John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester

With an excellent translation, a modern language and faithful to the original: this is how this edition of "The Revenge of the Jew" is presented, one of the best sellers by author John Wilmont Earl of Rochester, a master in the art of weaving unusual plots, describes in detail the characters, their feelings, and the plot in which they are involved. Written in a strong, vivacious and noble style, this work tells the story of a rich Jewish banker who falls in love with a Christian Countess, but because of her origin and religion, he cannot be with her lover.
Next, he uses a subterfuge that will mark his entire career and that of the other characters, in a succession of events in which expressions of selfishness and love alternate, but which reveal, in the background, the sublime feelings of faith and sorry. The development of the plot shows us the beneficial influence that a new worldview, Spiritism, at the time of its reception, even in its infancy, can bring to relationships between people and to the great decisions that life requires.
