Produced by Suzanne Shell, Graeme Mackreth and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Worrying Won't Win" by Montague Glass is a collection of humorous essays written in the early 20th century, with a focus on the societal and political commentary of its time, particularly during World War I. The book follows the amusing conversations and interactions between two Jewish merchants, Abe Potash and Morris Perlmutter, as they navigate contemporary issues. Through their comedic discussions, Glass explores themes such as politics, war, and societal norms, providing readers with both entertainment and insight. At the start of the narrative, the characters Abe and Morris engage in a witty dialogue about the state of royalty and the recent troubles faced by czars, specifically touching upon the downfall of the Russian czar and the impact of political marriages. They humorously debate the implications of being a czar in modern times compared to previous generations, blending sharp wit with commentary on the changing political landscape. This sets the tone for the book, showcasing Glass's skillful use of humor to address serious matters while inviting readers to consider the absurdity of both historical and contemporary events.
