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).

Paperback. Condizione: New. David Schearl arrives in New York in his mother's arms to begin his new life as an immigrant in the 'Golden Land'. David is hated by his father - an angry, violent man unable to find his niche in the New World - but is fiercely loved and protected by his Yiddish-speaking mother. An innovative, multi-lingual novel, Call It Sleep subtly interweaves the overwhelming love between a mother and son with the terrors and anxieties David experiences, as he seeks to find his own identity amidst the cultural disarray of early twentieth-century America.
