About this book

In the late 19th century, waves of European immigrants sought new beginnings in America, driven by dreams of prosperity and freedom. "Leivän haussa" by Henryk Sienkiewicz captures this poignant journey through the eyes of Wawrzon Toporek and his daughter Marysia, who leave their Polish village in search of opportunity. The novel intricately weaves themes of resilience and hope as they navigate the challenges of a foreign land, emphasizing the stark contrast between their past and the promise of a brighter future. Ideal for students and historians alike, this compelling narrative sheds light on the immigrant experience, showcasing the universal quest for “a better life” and the sacrifices made along the way.
