Children of the Tenements

Gelesen von Judi Mason

(3,5 Sterne; 3 Bewertungen)

This is a collection of vignettes about poverty in New York City in the early 1900s. Jacob Riis was a police reporter and a sociologist. He made human the faces of extreme poverty and did not limit his often-wrenching prose to children. He included old people and animals, and described diverse cultures. These stories evoke both laughter and tears. (9 hr 41 min)
