The Celibates' Club

The Celibates' Club is a collection of two stories, The Bachelors' Club and The Old Maids' Club, written by Israel Zangwill in 1898. The first story follows a group of bachelors who form a club to avoid the pressures of marriage and society's expectations. The club becomes a refuge for these men, allowing them to live life on their own terms. The second story follows a group of old maids who also form a club, finding camaraderie and support in each other as they navigate a society that views them as spinsters. Zangwill's writing explores the themes of freedom, independence, and societal expectations, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who choose to remain unmarried. The Celibates' Club is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that remains relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
