Kamen za Dannyja Fishera

Harold Robbins

A Stone for Danny Fisher (1952) follows the life of Danny Fisher, a young man from a working-class Jewish family, in New York City during the Great Depression. Danny's story reflects an individual's struggle against social and personal constraints.

Danny, a talented boxer, dreams of escaping poverty and street life. His family, facing financial difficulties, is falling apart under the weight of poverty, as Danny vacillates between ambition and crime. He falls in love with Nellie, a girl who gives him hope, but his connections to the underworld, gambling and corruption draw him into a dangerous world. As he rises in the boxing ring, Danny becomes the target of gangsters who want to control his career. His struggle for success and love leads him to tragic decisions, where every victory comes at a price. The novel, inspired by Robbins' own experiences, explores themes of the American dream, betrayal and moral compromise, depicting the harshness of urban life.

Robbins' raw style, full of passion and violence, paints a vivid picture of 1930s New York. The novel solidified Robbins' reputation as a best-selling sensationalist, blending melodrama with realistic depiction. It has influenced popular literature, emphasizing themes of ambition and tragic fate. Readers loved the dynamics and emotions, but critics criticized the explicitness. Nevertheless, the novel became a hit, later adapted into the film King Creole starring Elvis Presley.
