Lost Illusions by Honoré de Balzac: “The Jews have monopolized the gold of the world; they compose _Robert the Devil_, act _Phedre_, sing _William Tell_, give commissions for pictures and build palaces, write _Reisebilder_ and wonderful verse; they are more powerful than ever, their religion is accepted, they have lent money to the Holy Father himself!”
One of Ours by Willa Cather: “picked up a book from the table, a volume of Heine's Reisebilder in German.”
