About this ebook
This novel takes you a century back in time to live among Eastern European Jewish immigrants in the United States, only a few years before the appalling events of the great depression and the holocaust.
Sholem Asch originally wrote it in Yiddish, masterfully depicting the everyday-lives of Jewish immigrants in America, their traditions, values, dialect, and even religious rituals and business activities. Reading this novel gives insight on how Jews blended into society pre-holocaust, from an insider's perspective.
It’s a story of love and hate, forced marriage, the earliest traces of feminism, and the painful truth of why money can’t buy happiness. It was later adapted into a movie with the same name, considered to be a precious gem of Jewish culture.
“He had resolved firmly upon marrying Masha, - the eighteen-year-old maiden whose education he had paid for.”
“She considered herself a sacrifice to the welfare of her parents, her sisters, her relatives, and all the townsfolk.”
All Left of Brain books have been proofread and typeset by real humans. This book does NOT contain scanned or computer generated OCR text.
