The Imported Bridegroom

The Imported Bridegroom is a collection of short stories written by Abraham Cahan. The book explores the lives of Jewish immigrants in America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The stories depict the struggles and challenges faced by these immigrants as they try to assimilate into American society while holding on to their cultural traditions and beliefs. The characters in the stories are often torn between their old world values and the new world opportunities that America offers. The stories touch on themes of love, family, identity, and the immigrant experience. The Imported Bridegroom is a poignant and insightful portrayal of the immigrant experience in America, and is considered a classic work of Jewish-American literature.Only nineteen and a poor orphan, the fame of the prospective bridegroom, as a marvel of acumen and memory, reached far and wide. Few of the subtlest rabbinical minds in the district were accounted his match in debate, and he was said to have some two thousand Talmudical folios literally at his finger's ends. This means that if you had placed the tip of your finger on some word of a volume, he could have told you the word which came under your pressure on any other page you might name.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
