{"product_id":"salome-of-the-tenements-anzia-yezierska-9780252064357","title":"Salome of the Tenements","description":"The story of a young, aspiring Jewish woman from the ghetto who will do anything to get her man in this case an upper-class WASP. When she discovers he is not really what she wanted, she will do anything to get away. Based on the real-life story of the Jewish immigrant activist Rose Pastor's fairytale romance with the millionaire socialist Graham Stokes, the novel also reflects Yezierska's own doomed romance with the famous educator John Dewey. Passionate and engagingly sardonic, it criticizes the concept of the American \"Melting Pot\" in the language of the Lower East Side and exposes the hypocrisy of the \"good works\" of the privileged class and their so-called dedication to the poor. Gay Wilentz's introduction discusses Anzia Yezierska's life and work. \u003cbr\u003e Originally published in 1923. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anzia Yezierska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252064356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252064357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.34w x 0.70d","brand":"Anzia Yezierska","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075983864063,"sku":"9780252064357","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a888f35-2210-470c-be14-0ca1d4dc5a29.jpg?v=1685462533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/salome-of-the-tenements-anzia-yezierska-9780252064357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
