Sinossi
David Schearl arriva a New York tra le braccia della madre per iniziare la sua nuova vita da immigrato nella "Terra d'oro". David è odiato dal padre, un uomo arrabbiato e violento incapace di trovare la sua nicchia nel Nuovo Mondo, ma è intensamente amato e protetto dalla madre che parla yiddish. Un romanzo innovativo e multilingue, Call It Sleep intreccia sottilmente l'amore travolgente tra una madre e un figlio con i terrori e le ansie che David sperimenta, mentre cerca di trovare la propria identità in mezzo al disordine culturale dell'America di inizio Novecento.

Informazioni sull'autore
Henry Roth (1906-1995) was born in the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia. He probably landed on Ellis Island in 1909 and began his life in New York on the Lower East Side, in the slums where Call It Sleep is set. He is the author as well of Shifting Landscapes, a collection of essays, and the Mercy of a Rude Stream tetralogy.
Alfred Kazin (1915-98), was an American critic. His first book, On Native Grounds (1942), is a critical study of American prose literature from Howells to Faulkner. Later essay collections include The Inmost Leaf (1955), Contemporaries (1962), Bright Book of Life (1973), An American Procession (1984), Writing Was Everything (1995), and God and the American Writer (1997).

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A masterpiece of American literature, Call It Sleep is a glorious ode to the migrant experienceDavid Schearl arrives in America in his mother's arms. Waiting for them is a father and husband consumed by frustration and a labyrinth of language and asphalt - New York City at the turn of the century. As David navigates his father's anger and this alien world, he begins to glimpse deeper mysteries: the ancient and enduring quality of Jewish tradition, the shadow and the light of human desire, the reasons why people seek refuge in another land.One of the true masterworks of American fiction, Call It Sleep is a triumph of colour and sound, a towering peak of modernist writing, and an extraordinary ode to the child and the emigrant: the innocence, the confusion, the fear and the joy. David Schearl arrives in New York in his mother's arms to begin his new life as an immigrant. David is hated by his father, but is fiercely loved and protected by his Yiddish-speaking mother. This novel interweaves the love between a mother and son with the terrors and anxieties David experiences, as he seeks to find his own identity.
