The Universal Language: Zamenhof, Jews and the Making of Esperanto<br>
Esther Schor, author, poet, and professor of English at Princeton
University explores the Esperanto movement, invented by L.L. Zemenhof, in
1887, as a modern, emancipated Jew's answer to an ancient quandary; how
might language itself be used to promote understanding among nations and
peoples?<br><br>
