Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-23 00:00:00 Wanda Gould "The Promised Land" by Mary Antin was published 1912, and it narrates the story of a Jewish family immigrating from Russia to the united States.. In fact it is the autobiography of Antin, she put it in this way: " I was born, I have lived, and I have been made over.." A very touching and beautiful written autobiography which reads like a novel!! My paperback edition contains an awesome introduction by Werner Sollors, and also reproductions of 18 black-and-white photographs from the book first edition.. Also included are the two short stories "Malinka's Atonement" and "The Lie".. I've enjoyed it indeed, a very enlightened book by which I have learn so much!! I'm happy to have come across this beauty because it has given me something important for my understanding of immigrants and the value of education.. I do recommend it to all of you who are interested in Jewish history and would like to read an interesting and gripping biography!! Happy readings.. Dean;)

Country's Vices: "The Promised Land" by Mary Antin, Werner Sollors I've decided to try "The Promised Land" by Mary Antin, with expectation of a crushing depression setting in: "Could it be that the country's vices are now (finally) harmful to society?" I'd say that the countries vices were always harmful to the country, with the need to endlessly consume, renew, rebuild, scrap and start over. But only now that "general prosperity supports the stability of all governments" is NO longer the case for the vast majority of people in the USA, regardless of race, the wounds inflicted by the vices have started to fester.
