About Hungry Hearts
In stories that draw heavily on her own life, Anzia Yezierska portrays the immigrant’s struggle to become a “real” American, in such stories as “Yekl,” “Hunger,” “The Fat of the Land,” and “How I Found America.” Set mostly in New York’s Lower East Side, the stories brilliantly evoke the oppressive atmosphere of crowded streets and shabby tenements and lay bare the despair of families trapped in unspeakable poverty, working at demeaning jobs, and coping with the barely hidden prejudices of their new land.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust theseries to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-datetranslations by award-winning translators.
