Synopsis
"Nibsy's Christmas" by Jacob August Riis is a poignant narrative set in the impoverished tenements of New York City during the late 19th century. The story unfolds on Christmas Eve, capturing the stark contrast between the festive spirit of the holiday and the harsh realities faced by the city's poorest residents. The protagonist, Nibsy, is a young newsboy who navigates the cold, unforgiving streets, driven by a desire to bring a semblance of Christmas cheer to his family. Despite the bleakness of his surroundings, Nibsy's small acts of kindness, such as sharing honey-cakes with other children, highlight his resilience and compassion. The narrative delves into the lives of various tenement dwellers, painting a vivid picture of their struggles with poverty, hunger, and the relentless pursuit of survival. Riis's depiction of the tenements is unflinching, yet it is imbued with a sense of hope and humanity, as seen through the eyes of children who find joy in the smallest of gestures. The story culminates in a tragic yet touching moment, as Nibsy's life is cut short, but not before he experiences a fleeting glimpse of warmth and care. Through "Nibsy's Christmas," Riis not only sheds light on the social injustices of his time but also calls for empathy and action, urging readers to recognize the dignity and worth of every individual, regardless of their circumstances.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' It was Christmas-eve over on the East Side. Darkness was closing in on a cold, hard day. The light that struggled through the frozen windows of the delicatessen store, and the saloon on the corner, fell upon men with empty dinner-pails who were hurrying homeward, their coats buttoned tightly, and heads bent against the steady blast from the river, as if they were butting their way down the street.The wind had forced the door of the saloon ajar, and was whistling through the crack; but in there it seemed to make no one afraid. Between roars of laughter, the clink of glasses and the rattle of dice on the hard- wood counter were heard out in the street. More than one of the passers-by who came within range was taken with an extra shiver in which the vision of wife and little ones waiting at home for his coming was snuffed out, as he dropped in to brace up. The lights were long out when the silent streets re-echoed his unsteady steps toward home, where the Christmas welcome had turned to dread.' 26 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9791041817573
