Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Set in turn-of-the-century Italian Harlem, the gripping immigrant epic The Fire in the Flesh puts into motion both a business plot and an occasionally intersecting love plot that ensnare its principal characters as they make their uneasy adjustments to the ways of urban America. In the love plot, which begins in Villetto, Italy, protagonist Agnese Filoppina bears the child of priest Gelsomino Merlino and, while bearing the brunt of the village's scorn, marries simpleton Michele Dantone and leaves with son Giovanni for Italian Harlem. Never truly loving her husband, Agnese saves her affection for her business rival Antonio Farinella and for Padre Gelsomino, who flees Villetto for America soon after Agnese leaves. Meanwhile, in the business plot, Agnese builds, from humble beginnings and through often dubious means, a real-estate empire that dazzles her fellow Italian immigrants and shames her do-nothing husband. While these characters endlessly pursue love and money - 'the fire in the flesh' that motivates them - one character, the young painter Giovanni Dantone, seeks transcendence from his prosaic surroundings through art.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fiction. At the beginning of the 20th century, as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein were on the rise to prominence, sealing America's literary status around the world, a crop of writers began to publish and offer insight into the often overlooked and disregarded corners of society. Labeled ethnic or immigrant, their work was marginalized, relegated to limited audiences where it would remain available to minimal exposure or otherwise lost to history and the passage of time. With our re-publication of MISS ROLLINS IN LOVE, we hope to rescue one such title from the bottomless pit of history. Garibaldi LaPolla along with Pietro di Donato and John Fante form the canon of the great Italian American novelists from the era. And in this novel, he tells the story of a young teacher, Amy Rollins, her orphan student, Donato Contini, and the complexities of the education system, teacher-student relationships, and the implications of romance and passion in the classroom.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair dj. First British Edition. [moderately shelfworn, front board somewhat bowed, soiling to edges of text block; the jacket is heavily edgeworn and soiled, with some paper loss at the front hinge, chipping along the top edge, and a ragged horizonal tear in the front panel, crudely tape-repaired on the verso]. An acknowledged classic of Italian-American literature, and extremely scarce in both its original U.S. and British editions. Like the author's two previous two novels, "Fire in the Flesh" (1931) and "Miss Rollins in Love" (1932), the present work takes place around the turn of the twentieth century in East Harlem, at that time the largest Italian settlement in America. It centers around the title character, an ambitious man who has left his family behind in Italy in order to get rich in America; through "guile and treachery and courage," including taking over the business of an old friend by force, he achieves success as "the rag king of Harlem's Little Italy," but after he (finally) brings his wife and children over from the Old Country, his life starts to unravel. Per the finding aid for the Lapolla Papers, held in the Balch Institute collections at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Lapolla "was one of the first Italian-American authors to describe the experience of acculturation and the struggle between native Italian culture and the process of Americanization." A native of the southern Italian town of Rapolla, he immigrated with his family to the U.S. in 1890, was educated in the New York City public school system and went on to study at Columbia University, from which he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1910 and a Master of Arts degree in secondary education in 1912. He enlisted in the U.S. Army during World War I, and after the war entered his chosen profession: teaching. He taught various English-related subects in the New York City schools for more than thirty years, and in addition to his teaching duties held a number of administrative jobs (the longest being as Principal of P.S. 174 in Brooklyn from 1935 until his death in 1954); he also taught additional classes at Hunter College and CUNY, and was involved in many professional organizations. In addition to his three novels, he wrote several books for classroom use, plus plays, short stories, poetry, and two cookbooks -- and in his spare time (what?!) he indulged a passion for art, creating pen and ink drawings, pencil sketches, and watercolors. ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
