Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Tells the story of an orphaned immigrant who came to New York, settled on the East Side, and made his way up from a street peddler to a millionaire power broker in the business of women's clothing.


Review:

"...the description of Leninsky's rise in the cloak business is perfectly straightforward. Cahan had a remarkably good head about self-interest, snobbery, social climbing, money, and the Americanization of the Jews; he is not a doctrinaire Socialist; he is never simple-minded. He was not a great literary artist, and his book is more interesting as social history than as literature. Nevertheless he had the instincts of a fine novelist, and one finds in him none of the false piety of later generations of Jewish writers."

New York Times Book Review, January 15, 1961

Book Description: Random House USA Inc, United States, 2001. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 226 x 136 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. The Rise of David Levinsky, written by the legendary founder and editor of the "Jewish Daily Forward," is an early Jewish-American classic. 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." First published in 1917, Abraham Cahan's realistic novel tells the story of a young talmudic scholar who emigrates 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 unbearably high price of assimilation. Bookseller Inventory # APC9780375757983
