Présentation de l'éditeur
The first thing I did when I was fairly on my feet was to buy a farm. It was a matter of sentiment with me. All my family with the exception of my father had been farmers and even he, in his latter years, had talked wistfully of the independence of country life. His father had owned a fairly prosperous farm in New Hampshire and on his few acres had lived and died. He had raised there wheat for his flour, wool for his clothing, hides for his shoes, cream for his butter, and meat and vegetables for his table. He even made a fairly good imitation tea and coffee and sweetened the drink with maple sugar from his own trees.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a window into the vibrant immigrant experience of post-World War 1 America. The author, a former Italian immigrant, recounts his family's journey from urban slums to the countryside in this thought-provoking narrative. The author juxtaposes his idealism about the rustic lifestyle with the harsh realities of rural life he and his family encountered. Alongside adventures in purchasing a dilapidated farmhouse, the author shares his complex interactions with his new neighbors, several of whom were descendants of the area's original colonizers. Overcoming the language barrier, the families share traditions, learn from one another, and grapple with economic disparities. The author also sheds light on the agrarian economy of the time, revealing many local farmers were struggling financially while simultaneously complaining about the high influx of immigrant laborers. This book is not only a captivating memoir but also a profound meditation on class, culture, and the enduring complexities of the American Dream. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330797303_0
