About This Item
New York: E. Steiger, 1872. 1872 German Language Edition. Hardcover. Very good +. 8vo., pp. 137, green cloth with blind-stamped (eagle) design on front cover. Rear cover has blind-stamped decorative border and Publisher initials "E.S." with gilt crossed swords in the center and the date 1864. -- Front hinge just a tad weak. "A Novel from German-American Life has been described as the best German-language book published in the United States. Written by Reinhold Solger, a gifted German revolutionary intellectual who emigrated to America, this witty novel sheds light on topics of perennial importance: a hero's development through encounters with different social worlds, immigrant identity formation in a new land, and the country and the city. Solger took German ideas and values and adapted them to an American context, thus producing a literary work that could comment upon German, American, and German-American life, making Anton in America an important source for understanding the rich linguistic and cultural history of the United States. Depicts the often harrowing experiences of a German immigrant who arrives in New York in 1857."-worlcat.
