Beggar, thief

"Beggar, Thief" is the second book in Irwin Shaw's legendary family saga about the Jordans, a continuation of the novel "Rich Man, Poor Man".

The turbulent sixties. Conservative "old America" watches with horror and bewilderment the rebellion of youth who refuse to live by the rules dictated to them. Everything becomes new and unusual: art, love, politics, way of life. Now the second generation of the family, familiar to us from the first part of the saga - Billy Abbott and Wesley Jordach - will have to fight for their place in the sun.
