Synopsis
Excerpt from Up Stream: An American Chronicle
Some such perception and some such motive is in the consciousness Of every serious novelist and in that of every thinker. But the novelist sacrifices to a form and the thinker to a system. Each has had an anterior vision into which he lets his facts and even his emo tions melt. And this anterior vision - of a fable in the one case, Of a logical structure in the other - is nothing but a mask. For both the novelist and the philosopher is only an autobiographer in disguise. Each writes a confession; each is a lyricist at bottom. I, too, could easily have written a novel or a treatise. I have chosen to drop the mask.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an autobiography written by a Jewish boy who emigrated from Germany to the Southern U.S. in the 1890s. It explores the harsh, stark realities he faced as the son of Prussian immigrants trying to start a new life in a strange land. The South of that time and place was full of poverty and violence, and the boy had to contend with loneliness and disillusionment as he acclimated to the wild country and grappled with the loss of his homeland and the life he left behind. The authorās love for his adopted country eventually grew, but not without scarring. This book captures the immigrant experience in all its pain, loneliness, and eventual acceptance. This book offers profound observations on the immigrant experience and the human condition, and it has lost none of its power to intrigue readers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331673408_0
