The Rise of David Levinsky by Abraham Cahan
"The Rise of David Levinsky" by Abraham Cahan is a novel published in 1917. It tells the story of a Russian Jewish immigrant's journey from abject poverty to wealth in America. Born in the Russian Empire, David loses his mother to violence and abandons his Talmudic studies to pursue a new life. He arrives in New York as a penniless greenhorn, slowly shedding his old-world ways while navigating love, labor, and the
promises of his adopted homeland. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
