Excerpt from Until the Day Break Poor little man, said the soft voice of a Polish woman. The old Jew turned towards her with a flash in his eyes as he marked her for a small piece of silver, but hesitated to set about collecting, for as he moved he observed a wavering in the group and knew that his audience was not yet ready, that the threat of a col lection would disperse it. He leant over the boy, whispered into his ear, and as if automatically the vigour of the playing increased, the round shoulders wayed from side to side, followed the rhythm, while the head of flame jerked staccato up and down. Gaily, quickly, the boy played on, projected unseen Spain into the grey Slav plain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
