Rodina Lavette Séria

Táto rodinná sága sleduje vzostupy a pády imigrantskej rodiny, ktorá sa na začiatku 20. storočia snaží presadiť v Amerike. Prostredníctvom niekoľkých generácií sa odvíjajú príbehy plné odhodlania, ťažkostí a hľadania vlastného miesta v novej zemi. Séria skúma témy ambícií, rodinných pút a amerického sna, zachytávajúc tak surovú realitu aj nádeje prvých prisťahovalcov. Je to dojímavý portrét sily ľudského ducha a túžby po lepšom živote.

    Dan Lavette-the roughneck son of an Italian fisherman. He battled out of the rubble of the San Francisco earthquake to build a mighty shipping empire; rose to the gilded heights of Nob Hill society through a loveless marriage to the daughter of the city's wealthiest family -and risked it all for the beautiful Oriental woman who was his secret, scandalous passion. This is the story of America's newcomers, whose hungers were fed only with hope...And of the bold few who built that hope into a world of money and power... Who dreamed the American dream and made American history, while the new century came of age.

    Howard Fast, author of The Immigrants, has proven himself to be one of this country's most popular authors. This second volume about the fortunes of Dan Lavette, the young Italian who lost his parents but launched a stormy and brilliant career as a result of the great San Francisco earthquake, encompasses an even more dramatic sweep of history from the depression years to the close of World War II. It is the rare novelist who can create a world with such empathy and passion that the listener actually comes to share the loves and emotions of its characters.
