Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Plotzk to Boston is an 1899 memoir by author and immigration activist Mary Antin (1881-1949). It chronicles her emigration from her hometown of Polotsk in the Russian Empire (now modern Belarus) to the United States in 1894, focusing primarily on her observations of life in unfamiliar surroundings, the emotional trials endured by her family, and the hardships that accompanied their passage to and eventual settlement in Boston, Massachusetts. Her first major publication, it laid the groundwork for her later autobiography and most famous work, The Promised Land (1912). Compiled from a series of letters that Antin wrote to her uncle describing her family's journey to America in 1894, From Plotzk to Boston was inspired by the difficulties that compelled them to leave their homeland as well as Antin's own literary upbringing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Plotzk to Boston by Mary Antin The "infant phenomenon" in literature is rarer than in more physical branches of art, but its productions are not likely to be of value outside the doting domestic circle. Even Pope who "lisped in numbers for the numbers came," did not add to our Anthology from his cradle, though he may therein have acquired his monotonous rocking-metre. Immaturity of mind and experience, so easily disguised on the stage or the music-stool-even by adults-is more obvious in the field of pure intellect. The contribution with which Mary Antin makes her début in letters is, however, saved from the emptiness of embryonic thinking by being a record of a real experience, the greatest of her life; her journey from Poland to Boston. Even so, and remarkable as her description is for a girl of eleven-for it was at this age that she first wrote the thing in Yiddish, though she was thirteen when she translated it into English-it would scarcely be worth publishing merely as a literary curiosity. But it happens to possess an extraneous value. For, despite the great wave of Russian immigration into the United States, and despite the noble spirit in which the Jews of America have grappled with the invasion, we still know too little of the inner feelings of the people themselves, nor do we adequately realize what magic vision of free America lures them on to face the great journey to the other side of the world. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.

The quick senses of the child, her keen powers of observation and introspection, her impressionability both to sensations and complex emotions--these are the very things out of which literature is made; the raw stuff of art.

Download or read book The Promised Land written by Mary Antin and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling autobiography narrates the story of immigration rights activist Mary Antin, and her enlightening journey from early life in Russia to her migration and Americanisation in late nineteenth-century USA. The Promised Land is an introspective first-hand account of life as a Jewish American immigrant. Mary Antin was just 12-years-old when she arrived in Boston with her family and she underwent a great deal of change and development before she could call the USA her home. Antin’s autobiography details how the young Jewish girl escaped Czarist Russia and adapted to an entirely new culture and lifestyle. Antin explores her memories of public school and accompanies powerful historical context with hard-hitting political commentary. The Promised Land is one person’s story, but speaks for the millions who have had all too similar experiences. This gripping volume includes fascinating chapters such as: - Children of the Law - Daily Bread - The Exodus - The Initiation - ‘My Country’ - A Child’s Paradise Now in a new edition, Read & Co. Books have republished this illuminating autobiography for a new generation of readers. The Promised Land is a great read for those interested in the history of immigration rights and for fans of Mary Antin’s work.

Book excerpt: In her writing debut at age 13, Mary Antin carries us on a 6-week journey from a remote town in Russia to the United States. Mary, her mother, and three siblings encounter strange new sights from trams to motorized cars, endure the extreme discomfort of long train rides, and suffer strip-sanitation at the hands of German officials - terrified of a cholera pandemic. Exploitation along the way leaves them almost stranded as they experience the kindness of strangers and share a Passover meal with other Jewish travelers. The seasickness and survival rations of a stormy Atlantic passage fail to diminish Mary's keen enjoyment of the expansive sea, skies, and occasional wandering bird. As Boston looms on the horizon, Mary's father awaits at the dock for their joyful reunion.This book is a derived work based on Mary Antin's 1899 publication 'From Plotzk to Boston'. Section headers have been added to bring out the emotional and dramatic core of each part, paragraph breaks inserted, and Mary Antin's meta-statements about her authorship removed. This is the first title in the series 'Immigrant Stories'.
