TRAGEDY OF JEWISH WANDERERS
DEPICTED BY ROBERT NEUMANN

"By the Waters of Babylon" Is Thrilling Story of Jews
From Many Parts of the World Who
Land in Palestine

The past few years created into Palestine. Then unfolds the

new wanderers, a new set of dis- story of the wanderers—refugees

possessed and an endless stream
of exiles. Refugees have streamed
forth from all parts of the globe.
Jews and Christians and Bud-
dhists and Mohammedans were
among the homeless, but the Jews
were the chief sufferers.
For Jews, Palestine was the
point of greatest hope. Towards
Palestine moved a long line of
wanderers from everywhere, and
among them were rich and poor,
artisans and professionals, luft-
'menshen and spiritual leaders.
Robert Neuman, well known
novelist, has compiled the stories
of ten such wanderers in a sin-
gle book — "By the Waters of
Babylon" — published by Simon
and Schuster, 1230 Sixth Ave.,
New York.
A compilation of fascinating
experiences, these ten stores are
brilliantly welded into a tale that
may be read in ten installments,
each of which is a novel in itself,
or, connected by "The Frontier"
and "The Last Chapter" as open-
lag and closing links, may well
be considered a single touching
novel.
The story opens on an outpost
frontier of Palestine. A bus tray-
.s at top speed, evades the Brit-
ish guards and the travelers get

from Poland and Germany, a
former New York prizefighter, a
scholar, a king's mistress, a Brit-
ish peer.
In the life of each of them is
reflected the story of the Jewish
people. It is history of the past
and history in the making. The
brilliant author recounts tales of
old, depicting Jewish suffering as
well as Jewish creativeness, and
ties up the story of the past with
the conditions of our time which
have forced the wanderers to seek
a way into Palestine.
"By the Waters of Babylon"
is a realistic story. It does not
shield the greedy, but it elevates
the spiritual force which is Is-
rael's greatest attribute. "But
thy seed shall not perish" is the
concluding line in the book,
wherein the heroes - wanderers
meet with death. It is an appro-
priate ending for a volume that
vividly describes the agonized
travels of Jews.
The author, Robert Neumann,
who is just past 40, is the author
of eight books in English. His
works have been burned and
banned in Germany and Austria.
A native of Vienna, where he at-
tended Maximilian Gymnasium
and the University, his occupa-
tions besides writing included
jobs as a bank clerk, as manag-
ing director of a food .import con-
cern, as swimming instructor,
having had the honor of being a
champion swimmer, and as su-
percargo in the Dutch merchant
marine. His hook on Basil Zahar-
off was published in this country
in 1935. He is also known as the
author of "Passion", "The Queen's
Doctor" and ."A Woman Scream-
ed." He is now a refugee from
Germany.
