Book Overview

Against The Current: Simple Chapters From A Complex Life is a memoir written by Edward Alfred Steiner and first published in 1910. The book details Steiner's life growing up in Austria-Hungary and his eventual immigration to the United States. Steiner was a prolific writer, theologian, and social activist who was known for his work in promoting social justice and advocating for the rights of immigrants.
