A Far Journey - An Autobiography

A Far Journey is a memoir written by Abraham Mitrie Rihbany and published in 1914. The book tells the story of Rihbany's journey from his hometown of Freike, Lebanon to the United States in the late 1800s. Rihbany was a young man when he left his home and traveled to America to pursue his education and seek new opportunities. The book describes his experiences as an immigrant in America, including his struggles to adapt to a new culture and language, his encounters with prejudice and discrimination, and his eventual success as a writer and educator. Rihbany's story is a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of immigrants, and offers a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of building a new life in a foreign land. A Far Journey is a classic work of immigrant literature that continues to resonate with readers today.  (After Amazon). Via lindsayg, March 2009.
