About this listen

 Step into the world of early 1900s New York City through a poignant collection of vignettes that bring to life the harsh realities of poverty. Jacob Riis, a dedicated police reporter and sociologist, sheds light on the faces of extreme hardship, capturing not just the struggles of children but also the elderly and even animals. His evocative storytelling elicits a spectrum of emotions, from laughter to tears, as he highlights the rich tapestry of diverse cultures in the city.
