Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Homebuilders Between the ages of sixteen and nineteen, to Henry Brosczki, orphan, a day meant this: Two meals eaten in the respectable boarding-house of his aunt, Mrs. Sientek, which the thrifty woman managed as a sort of annex to her husband´s saloon on Division Street; a luncheon consisting of sausage, black bread, and cold tea, eaten from an imitation-leather box in the moulding-room of the Stove Works; and ten leaden hours during which he wheeled loads of fine, flour-like sand in a stout barrow from one end of this room to the other, at the beck and call of big-mustached men who pottered about the finished moulds with little spoons. But at nineteen a day came to mean much more, for he met Julia Fernowicz then. Julia Fernowicz had always worked, she said. Before she was ten, she served her father by bringing his beer in a stone pitcher from the corner saloon. At thirteen she "kept house" while her mother went out washing.
