Items related to Hungry Hearts (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)
The ten short stories of Hungy Hearts record the tragedies and triumphs of life in New York City's tenement slums. They brilliantly capture the distinction of a woman's immigrant experience: her dreams of making it in a new land, of social betterment, and of happiness invariably tied to being valued, or not valued, by a man or by her family. Seen from a contemporary perspective, this extraordinary 'lost' masterpiece is even richer and more psychologically astute today.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In stories that draw heavily on her own life, Anzia Yezierska portrays the immigrant's struggle to become a real American, in such stories as Yekl, Hunger, The Fat of the Land, and How I Found America. Set mostly in New York's Lower East Side, the stories brilliantly evoke the oppressive atmosphere of crowded streets and shabby tenements and lay bare the despair of families trapped in unspeakable poverty, working at demeaning jobs, and coping with the barely hidden prejudices of their new land. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. In stories that draw heavily on her own life, Anzia Yezierska (1880-1970) portrays the immigrant's struggle to become a "real" American. Set mostly on New York's Lower East Side, the stories brilliantly evoke crowded streets, shabby tenements, poverty, and ethnic prejudice. These stories are still relevant today, except the ethnic backgrounds are Latino and Asian. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
