Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an autobiography that gives an early 20th century perspective of immigrant life in America, told from the viewpoint of a Jewish family from Poland. The author's experiences include the abject poverty her family faced while her father peddled bananas from a pushcart in New York City, the sweatshop horrors her mother endured in her work as a seamstress, as well as the devastating impact of her father's early death. Through it all, the author insists on finding joy and dignity. This book is an inspiring and moving story of a family's determination to not only survive but thrive despite immense hardship and discrimination. In the end, the author's childhood memoir is more than a personal tale; it is an important historical record of the immigrant experience in America.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. Ferber, Nat J., Spawn: A Novel of Degeneration, Farrar & Rinehart (1930). First Edition, signed and inscribed by author. Black cloth with red blind stamped title and author to front cover and spine, with publisher, faint sunning to top of spine. Richly decorated endpapers designed by jacket author, Lewis Daniel, an artist who represented the United States in the painting event at the 1932 Olympic games and specialised in showing working class evocative imagery. Signed and inscribed to half title, For Joseph Henry Cohen, my very good friend, with sincere regards, Nat J Ferber. In original scarce jacket which shows chipping to extremities and the top and base of the spine with some loss to title, and a discrete tear along the flap of the front of the jacket, additionally it is price clipped. Internally clean, with very intermittent spotting with an uncut fore edge and a faintly red dyed top edge. A very scarce fourth novel of an important Jewish socialist author and reporter, Nat J. Ferber (1889-1945) who spent much of his reporting career on Wall Street, writing for the New York American, specialising in stories of corruption, high crime and mobsters, most famously investigating Arnold Rothstein, a mobster and racketeer who fixed the 1919 world series. In some letters he is particularly vitriolic in his criticism of American journalism and laissez-faire attitudes towards growing European fascism and right-wing movements. This tracks as his writings often dealt with the immigrant, or Jewish experience, often combining the two, such as in 'One Happy Jew' (1934), focussing on a poor Jewish family in an Austrian ghetto seeking better fortunes in America. Or his first novel, 'Sidewalks of New York' (1927), following the life of an illegitimate child of a wealthy Russian Jewish family and a serving girl, who suffers from Hydrocephalus, meandering through the poorer parts of New York and Life. Ferber's interest with the subaltern and his own lived experience, combined with a dislike for corruption and injustice come together in 'Spawn', a story set in a town called Pike Hollow, in the state of New York, and is split into three books, from '1844-1887', '1887-1893', and '1893-'. Each section takes us through a new generation of the community residing in 'Bastard's Notch' where a small farming village had once been visited upon by a band of men from Vermont, and ever since had slowly slipped into widespread incest and depravity, with the laws of man and God slowly ebbing away. In one review it was supposed that Ferber must have had a room sized chart to keep track of all the interrelations of characters, who are presented as inadvertent sinners and victims of circumstance. Published a year after Black Thursday, and Ferber being a reporter working in and around the financial district, there is perhaps allegory of the start of the great depression, with working people suffering as a result of choices made by those above them. After his time in Wall Street, and as an author, he moved to Hollywood to work as a screenwriter, contributing to several films including crime film, Circumstantial Evidence (1945). Joseph Henry Cohen, to whom this appears inscribed to was a Manhattan based attorney who had studied in the 1910's at Colombia, and worked in Washington for Solicitor General, Harlan Fiske Stone, before returning to New York to specialise in Trial, Corporate and General law.

"Having built the reputation of his New York papers on battling the power of the corrupt political machine known as Tammany Hall, it was only natural that, when two Tammany-backed stock swindlers went on trial in New York, the Hearst papers took a serious interest in the outcome. After the defendants, Fuller and McGee, were acquitted in spite of what was generally considered overwhelming evidence of guilt, Hearst unleashed his attack dogs. In full, spare-no-expense style, the mode in which Hearst was at his most dangerous as a journalist, the editor of the New York American, Victor Watson, ordered the paper's top investigative reporter, Nat Ferber, to get to the bottom of the case. Ferber found exactly what Hearst had hoped for: one Eddie Eidlitz, a former associate of the defense lawyer William J. Fallon who had won acquittal for the Tammany swindlers. Eidlitz was willing to testify that Fallon had participated in corrupting the jury. Thus began the sensational, front-page prosecution of William Fallon." This book covers a number of the famous cases journalist Nat Ferber covered over the years, including the Seabury Inquiry, the E. M. Fuller and Co. Bankruptcy trial, Racketeer Arnold Rothstein (the Brain) and more. Ferber was an investigative journalist dealing with many of the most famous criminal enterprises of his day. ; Signed by Author.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [good sound copy, minor bumping to lower corners, slight darkening/soiling to spine cloth]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "For Virginia Hicks / A Happy Birthday / to you / Nat J. (Ferber / + Toni." Novel following the Marmelsteins, a Jewish family, from their little Austrian village, to Vienna, Paris, and finally New York. The narrative commences with the father resolving to take his five sons to America because he believes it to be "the one place where the Jew is spared suffering and humiliation merely because of his inevitable heritage" (which he describes elsewhere as "the curse of which they will never be rid"). Alas, four of the five turn their backs on their father's dream, some adopting other religions, others marrying to gain wealth -- all but one, Pincus (the book's title character), who stays true and marries a nice Jewish girl. The author, a journalist throughout the 1920s, was the one-time husband of anarchist/activist Marie Ganz, with whom he collaborated on her 1920 autobiography "Rebels" (also available from ReadInk); by the time this book appeared, however, he had left journalism (and New York) and moved to Hollywood to try and establish himself as a screenwriter (it didn't take), and had presumably split with Marie. (An obituary, from 1945, reports that his widow's name was Jewel, so that leaves the identity of "Toni" a mystery. I am equally clueless about who the inscribee, Virginia Hicks, might have been.) ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
