My Father's House

By Meyer Levin

Book Overview

My Father's House is a memoir written by Meyer Levin, an American author and journalist. The book tells the story of his family's journey from Russia to the United States in the early 1900s and their struggles to build a new life in a foreign country. Levin's father, a rabbi, was determined to create a home in America that would reflect the values and traditions of their Jewish heritage. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family, and his commitment to his faith and culture inspired Levin throughout his life. The book is not only a personal account of one family's experience, but also a reflection on the larger themes of immigration, assimilation, and the American dream. Levin explores the challenges and opportunities that come with leaving one's homeland and starting anew in a foreign land, and he reflects on the ways in which his family's story is emblematic of the experiences of countless others who have made similar journeys. Through vivid descriptions and poignant anecdotes, Levin brings to life the people and places that shaped his childhood, and he offers a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit. My Father's House is a moving and deeply personal memoir that offers a unique perspective on the American immigrant experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
