    Dan Lavette-the roughneck son of an Italian fisherman. He battled out of the rubble of the San Francisco earthquake to build a mighty shipping empire; rose to the gilded heights of Nob Hill society through a loveless marriage to the daughter of the city's wealthiest family -and risked it all for the beautiful Oriental woman who was his secret, scandalous passion. This is the story of America's newcomers, whose hungers were fed only with hope...And of the bold few who built that hope into a world of money and power... Who dreamed the American dream and made American history, while the new century came of age.

  5. Die Tochter des Einwanderers

    In diesem triumphalen Abschluss der Lavette-Saga bringt Howard Fast die Geschichte bis zur Gegenwart, zur vierten Generation. Während Dan Lavette in Die Einwanderer dominierte, steht nun sein ältestes Kind, Barbara, im Mittelpunkt dieses weitreichenden und leidenschaftlichen Romans. Nach einem Leben voller Gefahr, Liebe und Tod lebt Barbara, jetzt in ihren Sechzigern, ein einfaches Leben in San Francisco. Und dann, fast aus einer Laune heraus, kandidiert sie für den Kongress und setzt eine Reihe von Abenteuern in Gang, die sie zurück in die Aufregung der damaligen Zeit, zu einer Erneuerung der romantischen Liebe, zu mortaler Gefahr als Reporterin in Mittelamerika, zu Verlust und Tragödie und schließlich zu einer jubelnden Umarmung des Lebens führt.
