I have read so many stories about WWII, and the Holocaust, it was interesting to read about something about how things were effected by WWI. ( )Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. Told in a storytelling style, Smugglers takes a little getting used to. As you're reading, it's easy to imagine that you're listening to an old man recounting the happenings of his old-world village. Originally published in 1920, you really get a feel from this book of how things were in Poland just after World War I. German occupation, poverty and perseverance are the main themes of this interesting novel. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I eagerly awaited the arrival of this book as I generally enjoy Polish fiction & its different cultural perspective. However, I found the writing in this book confusing & juvenile. It jumps around with little or no reason that I can divine & the sentences are grade school level. There's no way to tell if the fault lies with the translator or original writer. I wouldn't have finished it if it weren't an early reviewer book. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. While, not a book I enjoyed reading, Smugglers was a story that had to be told. At times this book was a little confusing because of the vast array of jumping around between families, I do understand why it was done that way. The story was telling. The book reads more like a history book than a novel, though. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. It wasn't necessarily a hard book to get through, but it wasn't exactly compelling either. It's hard to critique a book that was released in 1920 based on today's standards, but I think it would have been much improved by a first person voice. I was just too distant from the characters to care as much. It was a fairly intriguing story but if you aren't interested in Yiddish literature, I probably wouldn't recommend it. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Smugglers. A Novel in Three Parts deals with a neglected chapter of history -- the First World War in Poland during the period of the German occupation. The Jews in the Pale of Settlement, mainly small shopkeepers and poor craftsman, suffered from discrimination and persecution under the Russians. When the Germans conquered most of what was once Congress Poland, the Jews had some relief from Russian anti-Semitism, but the economic situation became even more grievous. Famine and typhus were rampant and the economic decline left the poor cobblers, tailors and tradesmen without work and with their meager savings depleted. They were desperate. And then they hit upon a scheme. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
