Gaslight Sonatas is a novel written by Fannie Hurst. The story is set in the early 1900s in New York City, where a young and ambitious musician named David Rabinowitz struggles to make a name for himself in the competitive world of classical music. He dreams of becoming a famous composer and conductor, but faces numerous obstacles along the way, including poverty, discrimination, and the expectations of his traditional Jewish family.As David navigates the complexities of his personal and professional life, he becomes involved with a wealthy and influential socialite named Cynthia Tremaine. Despite their different backgrounds and social statuses, the two develop a deep and passionate connection that threatens to upend their respective worlds.Gaslight Sonatas explores themes of love, ambition, class, and identity, as well as the challenges faced by immigrants and minorities in early 20th century America. Hurst's vivid prose and attention to detail bring the era and its characters to life, making for a compelling and thought-provoking read.At West Street, where Broadway intersects, the red sun at its far end settled redly and cleanly to sink like a huge coin into the horizon. The Popular Store emptied itself into this hot pink glow, scurried for the open street-car and, oftener than not, the overstuffed rear platform, nose to nose, breath to breath.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
