Sinossi
Drawing on previously unexamined diaries and letters, The Other Half marvelously re-creates the moving story of Jacob Riis, the legendary Progressive reformer and muckraking photographer. Born in 1849 in rural Denmark, Riis immigrated to America in 1870 following a devastating romantic breakup. Penniless and starving, Riis stumbled into journalism, eventually becoming a charismatic police reporter for the New York Tribune, where he befriended Theodore Roosevelt and witnessed firsthand the appalling tenement conditions of late nineteenth-century New York. His resulting exposé, How the Other Half Lives, was the first major American muckraking book. It brought Americans in touch with their lost humanity, establishing a precedent for Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, Jane Addams, and Upton Sinclair. Described by Roosevelt as "the ideal American," Riis died in 1914, mourned by millions, a celebrated hero. Tom Buk-Swienty's long-awaited biography, a superb evocation of the muckraking era, is a compelling work, designed with 55 haunting images from Riis's own photographic oeuvre.

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. The most bizarre unsolved murder mystery in Tampa Bay history. That's how newscasters describe the true story surrounding the 1977 death of Dunedin Florida business and family man, Robert John Dirscherl Sr. Police called it suicide, but the facts and physical evidence indicated otherwise. Then the family receives an anonymous deathbed confession letter sixteen years after the mysterious death, and their amazing quest to uncover the truth begins. Twenty years after a shotgun ended Dirscherls life, TV producers air the story on NBCs Unsolved Mysteries, hoping to generate new leads. Did the dead man himself provide clues from the other side? Was the information passed on by a psychic stranger on a train really implying God was involved the whole time? This amazing quest for truth and justice may cause you to experience the quick chill or unexpected tear as you discover along the way one of the most fantastic and touching true stories you'll ever read.
