"Neighbors: Life Stories of the Other Half" is a book that opens up to the reader a unique world of realities of New York at the end of the 19th century through the prism of the lives of slum dwellers. Written by the author Jacob Riis, various personal stories that depict the undeniable truth about the grief and joy of those who live in the lower social strata of a large American city. The book reveals to us a sense of the reality of the immediate thirty-year section of life, where the heroes are forced to fight for existence in conditions of extreme instability and oppression. Readers are once again reminded of the importance of compassion and understanding of others, the inexhaustibility of human nature, and the moral dilemmas that each of us faces in our daily lives.
