Belly Fulla Straw

David Cornel De Jong

4.9/5 (9176 ratings)

Description:Mr. DeJong tells here of a family who come from Holland to America and settle in a small middle-western city - their adjustment to a new kind of life, the death of the mother, the father's slow rise in business, the complete Americanization of the four children, only one of whom grows up to be a real person. Belly Fulla Straw is a sensitive and honest family chronicle. But it is also something more important - it is the story of a man. Harmen Idema, the head of the family, is sturdy, solid, practical, a good father and a good provider; but a man, too, of fine instincts and old-world integrity who cannot be reconciled to the cheap, vulgar babbittry of the life around him. The others adjust themselves, but he cannot. He is a wonderful figure - one of those people who are too often underrated in life, but to whom fiction, with its large omniscience, can do proper justice.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
