Inspired by her own parents journey at the turn of the century, Petesch spins these tales of immigration in a spare and lyrical prose that assures our involvement: a political fugitive threatened with imprisonment reaches a long-sought mining town in Minnesota; as Polish immigrant Witold Dobrynski realizes his dream of owning a farm in Texas, a spiritual crisis changes his life; fourteen-year-old Stasio Wolski quickly becomes a man in the underworld of a big city but is haunted by the loss of his Polish identity: a beekeeping bachelors pre-occupation with the social life of the hive is seamlessly interwoven with the colorful tapestry of early twentieth-century Pittsburgh.This visionary collection sustains Peteschs well-established reputation as one of the countrys finest writers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68079166161184,"sku":"NEW0804009929","price":22.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/41W7p6umWAL.jpg?v=1793497049","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-immigrant-train-and-other-stories-0804009929","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
