A “profoundly shocking” tale of immigrant children growing up in
New York tenements from the New York Times–bestselling author of
Spartacus (Kirkus Reviews). Ishky is Jewish; Marie and Shomake are
Irish; Ollie is Italian. All children of immigrants, they are
confronted daily by the prejudice that rules in one of the world’s
greatest urban centers: New York City. Living in slums, they must rely
on each other to overcome hunger, disease, violence, and the bigotry
of those who arrived before them. Fighting for a better life against
the tide of poverty, the children must overcome their own city’s
barbarism, or be consumed by it. Heartrending in its scope and
harrowing in its realism, The Children is an elegy of the ghettoes and
a moving cri de coeur against bigotry and oppression in all its forms.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast
including rare photos from the author’s estate.
