De la región de Calabria mucho antes del siglo XIX a las sastrerías de París, de las trincheras de la Primera Guerra Mundial al paseo marítimo de Ocean City, de Garibaldi a Joe DiMaggio, de Lucky Luciano o Sinatras al menor de los Talese: los hijos desgrana la odisea de una familia y, a través de ella, la de los millones de emigrantes italianos que llegaron a Estados Unidos en el despertar de una época que cambiaría el mundo. I enjoyed this as much or more than everything else I have read by Talese. This is no light read, though. The historical detail packed into the pages was literally exhausting at times but I never contemplated putting it down. Talese's writing just won't allow that. It took a solid two months to read as I would pick up a magazine or some such every week or so but this book is so worth your time. If you are from an Italo-American family this is a must-read. If you are a fan of history, memoir or just great non-fiction right, you will love it as well. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderscheidingen
"An Italian ROOTS." --The Washington Post Book World At long last, Gay Talese, one of America's greatest living authors, employs his prodigious storytelling gifts to tell the saga of his own family's emigration to America from Italy in the years preceding World War II. Ultimately it is the story of all immigrant families and the hope and sacrifice that took them from the familiarity of the old world into the mysteries and challenges of the new.
