Produktbeschreibung
Every soul hath its song explores the life and aspirations of an immigrant family as they face the challenges of American life and the pursuit of personal dreams, especially centered on travel and ambition. The story delves into the tensions between family members living in a cramped city apartment, where desires and disappointments collide. Early on, the family s daily interactions reveal the younger sister s longing to travel abroad, igniting a mix of banter, tension, and hope among the siblings. The clash between what they wish for and what life permits shapes their emotional landscape, drawing out questions of identity, belonging, and societal expectation. As the family debates topics like travel, social status, and personal goals, their exchanges expose deeper layers of frustration, love, and humor, hinting at the emotional journeys each character must navigate. These early chapters lay the groundwork for a narrative rich in emotional conflict and personal discovery, focusing on the complexities of balancing individual ambition with family loyalty and the constraints of their social reality.
Autorenporträt
Fannie Hurst was an American novelist and short-story writer best known for her works that blended sentimental romance with social issues of her time, particularly focusing on themes like women's rights, race relations, and class struggles. Born in Ohio, Hurst was a prolific writer, gaining popularity during the post-World War I era. She became known for her ability to create deeply emotional, character-driven narratives that often tackled societal taboos and issues affecting women, minorities, and the working class. Her most famous works include Back Street and Imitation of Life, both of which have been adapted into successful films. Imitation of Life (1933), in particular, became a landmark film that addressed racial identity and social inequality. Hurst's writing often centered on the lives of ordinary people, and she explored themes of love, sacrifice, and the quest for happiness. Despite being highly successful in her time, her work fell out of favor in the years following her death. However, she remains an important figure in early 20th-century American literature for her exploration of social issues and her distinctive style.
