More about the book

Exploring themes of identity and belonging, Ludwig Lewisohn's life reflects a profound journey from alienation to embracing his Jewish heritage. Born in Berlin and raised in South Carolina, he faced outsider status throughout his youth. A distinguished scholar and translator, his literary contributions spanned fiction and social criticism. The death of his mother prompted a reevaluation of his Jewish roots, leading him to Zionism by 1920. His memoir, Up Stream, provocatively critiques American culture, igniting controversy and lasting animosity.
