Against The Current: Simple Chapters From A Complex Life is a memoir written by Edward Alfred Steiner and first published in 1910. The book details Steiner’s life growing up in Austria-Hungary and his eventual immigration to the United States. Steiner was a prolific writer, theologian, and social activist who was known for his work in promoting social justice and advocating for the rights of immigrants. The book is divided into chapters that explore different aspects of Steiner’s life, including his childhood, his experiences as a student, his travels, and his work as a minister and writer. Throughout the book, Steiner reflects on the challenges he faced as an immigrant in the United States and the ways in which his experiences shaped his beliefs and values. Against The Current is a deeply personal and introspective work that offers a unique perspective on the immigrant experience and the struggles of adapting to a new culture. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of immigration in the United States and the experiences of those who have come to this country seeking a better life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
