Описание:
One of the most beloved and prolific writers of Yiddish literature, Sholom Aleichem (1859-1916) produced a wealth of wonderful stories that combined traditional Jewish oral humor with Western literary tradition. For years a living legend, he wrote enduring gems of fiction, eleven of which are included in this entertaining collection. The master storyteller brilliantly recaptures the joy, drudgery, and trials and tribulations of Jewish life in such tales as `Geese`, `At the Doctor`s`, `Three Widows`, `The Passover Eve Vagabonds`, `On America`, `The Ruined Passover`, `Someone to Envy`, `Three Calendars`, the title story, and two others. Ably translated and with a new Introduction by Curt Leviant, these tales will be especially welcomed by devotees of Aleichem; but their warmth, wisdom, and common humanity will also make them of interest to a broad spectrum of general readers, including anyone interested in Jewish cultural life.Похожие книги
