Anzia Yezierska (1882-1970) was born in Poland and came to the Lower East Side of New York with her family in 1890 when she was nine years old. By the 1920s she had risen out of poverty and become a successful writer of stories, novels--all autobiographical--and an autobiography, Red Ribbon on a White Horse (Persea). Her novel Bread Givers (Persea) is considered a classic of Jewish American fiction. Her acclaimed books also include How I Found America: Collected Stories and The Open Cage. She died in 1970.
The classic novel of Jewish immigrants, with period photographs. This masterwork of American immigrant literature is set in the 1920s on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and tells the story of Sara Smolinsky, the youngest daughter of an Orthodox rabbi, who rebels against her father's rigid conception of Jewish womanhood. Sarah's struggle towards independence and self-fulfillment resonates with a passion all can share. Beautifully redesigned page for page with the previous editions, Bread Givers is an essential historical work with enduring relevance. 16 black-and-white photographs

課上談論到父親形象,大傢都不能理解他的宗教理念和自私,老師卻說批判一個人很容易,但當想到這個人自小生長在特定的文化環境下 被這樣的觀念熏陶至此,其“自私”可能也要被辯證看待瞭。 想到瞭巴金的《傢》,年輕一輩在傳統價值理念下的掙紮,但bread giver多瞭一層文化衝突 更顯性瞭。
評分一開始看的時候還是很痛苦,一旦投入進去之後反而被它語言的質樸給吸引瞭,literature課上聯係瞭Jewish America來讀,覺得Father這個角色簡直amazing……居然沒有中譯本,可惜。
評分前言是哥倫比亞研究婦女勞動史的教授寫的。讀書會的朋友在讀完之後寫瞭封email給她,她還馬上迴復瞭。
評分語言有種質樸的迷人。內容很有電影畫麵感,父親的形象簡直可怕,無法理解猶太教.....
評分課程任務,倒也能讀完。貧民窟女孩兒的倔強逆襲之路,討厭瞭整本書的“爸爸”形象,最後居然有一點點改觀。
