Excerpt from From Plotzk to Boston
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.

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 dotingdomestic 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 o! 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 debut in letters i Sjhowever, saved from the emptiness of embryonic thinking by being a record of a real experience, the greatest of her life; her journey from Russia 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.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is autobiography of the author's journey from Russia to Boston in the early 1900's. The author is a young girl traveling with her family. They were headed to America in search of a better life, away from the tyranny and oppression they faced in Russia. The author paints a vivid picture of their experiences along the way, including the culture shock of arriving in a new country and the challenges of adapting to a different way of life. She also reflects on both the joys and sorrows of leaving behind all that is familiar for a chance at a better future. Ultimately, the author conveys to readers the rich and complex insights that come from experiencing such a significant transition, and illustrates the human spirit's resilience when thrust into foreign and often challenging surroundings.
