| Summary | "The Rise of David Levinsky" by Abraham Cahan is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life of David Levinsky, a Jewish immigrant who rises from a life of poverty in Russia to become a successful businessman in America, navigating the challenges of identity, culture, and belonging along the way. At the start of the book, David reflects on his dramatic transformation from a poor boy in Antomir, Russia, to a wealthy man in America. He shares poignant memories of his childhood, including the loss of his father and the struggles he and his mother faced to survive. The narrative captures the essence of his early years, focusing on the complex dynamics between his family life, his education, and the societal challenges that shaped his identity. From the vivid descriptions of his mother's love and hardship to the environment of poverty and conflict he grew up in, the opening sets the stage for David's journey of self-discovery and his eventual rise in the cloak-and-suit trade in America.
