Memoirs of a Little Italian Boy
Author: David Govoni
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595236332
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
This is a story about me, as a little Italian boy born in a small town in Massachusetts. My father and mother came to this country in the early 1900s. Neither spoke English or knew anything about American money. They asked for nothing, and received nothing, from government assistance. I remember my father saying he had only thirteen cents in his pocket when he came here from the old country, but he had a strong determination to become an American. His newfound freedom to learn a different vocation, and the chance to become a businessman, gave him hope for a positive future for his family.

The Italian Boy
Author: Sarah Wise
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466867809
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
A thrilling history of England's great metropolis at a point of great change, told through the story of a young vagrant murdered by "resurrection men" Before his murder in 1831, the "Italian boy" was one of thousands of orphans on the streets of London, moving among the livestock, hawkers, and con men, begging for pennies. When his body was sold to a London medical college, the suppliers were arrested for murder. Their high-profile trial would unveil London's furtive trade in human corpses carried out by body-snatchers--or "resurrection men"--who killed to satisfy the first rule of the cadaver market: the fresher the body, the higher the price. Historian Sarah Wise reconstructs not only the boy's murder but the chaos and squalor of London that swallowed the fourteen-year-old vagrant long before his corpse appeared on the slab. In 1831, the city's poor were desperate and the wealthy were petrified, the population swelling so fast that old class borders could not possibly hold. All the while, early humanitarians were pushing legislation to protect the disenfranchised, the courts were establishing norms of punishment and execution, and doctors were pioneering the science of human anatomy. Vivid and intricate, The Italian Boy restores to history the lives of the very poorest Londoners and offers an unparalleled account of the sights, sounds, and smells of a city at the brink of a major transformation.
