Rich Man, Poor Man Hardcover – January 1, 1970

What a great book! The jacket cover was torn in a few places but what can I say the book is 40 years old

. Has nothing to do with the novel written by Irwin Shaw. It is a few pages long, illustrated and it was written for people who don’t speak english. Shipped from Athens, Greece at a cost of $20.00.

Irwin Shaw is one of my favorite authors. He writes stories that are highly relatable and sometimes tragic. Above all he is a wonderful story teller. His short stories are excellent.

This is a wonderful book, spanning the lives of a dysfunctional family - their loves, their lives, their triumphs, their failures. The characters are fantastically developed. I left this book craving more. Fortunately, Beggarman, Thief is available for those like me that didn't feel like RM/PM should have been over. I fell in love with the characters and just didn't want to leave their lives! I truly enjoy books that delve into the lives of its characters over many years. This one succeeded beautifully in keeping my interest over decades of story - it didn't try to "cram" too much in, while at the same time providing enough information to hold the interest, I believe, of even the casual reader. Worth every minute and highly recommended!

A superb story that spans two generations of an immigrant family that settles down in america to pursue their dreams.
