"Children of the Tenements" is a book written by Jacob Riis, which describes in detail the life of children who grew up in the poor quarters of New York at the end of the 19th century. The author reveals the difficult conditions in which these children had to survive, their dreams, joys and worries. The book is full of confession and realism, showing the cruel reality of the life of children who had to fight for every bit of happiness in the difficult conditions of a big city. "Children of tenements" is not only a dark picture of social problems, but also an attempt to draw society's attention to the needs and rights of children who are outside the boundaries of the wealthy world.
