Product Description
"The novel is more than an important literary work and cultural document. It forms part of the traditional ritual of renewal of the American Way." -Sam B. Girgus
"It is one of the best fictional studies of Jewish character available in English, and at the same time an intimate and sophisticated account of American business culture." --Isaac Rosenfeld
The Rise of David Levinsky, written by the celebrated founder and editor of the Jewish Daily Forward, is an early Jewish-American treasure. According to the scholar Sam B. Girgus, "The novel is more than an important literary work and cultural document. It forms part of the traditional ritual of renewal of the American Way."
Originally published in 1917, Abraham Cahan's realistic novel tells the story of a young Talmudic scholar who migrated from a small town in Russia to the melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York City. As the Jewish "greenhorn" rises from the depths of poverty to become a millionaire garment merchant, he discovers the awful price of assimilation.
