Product Description
Synopsis
The Classic Collection of the Best Writing Depicting Shtetl Life through the Ages; Translated and edited by one of the foremost experts on Yiddish literature and three-time winner of the PEN translation prize, this is the only anthology of its kind - finally back in print in paperback! This marvellous collection of Yiddish classics, some never before translated into English, offers a full and wonderfully vivid array of shtetl life from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Featuring such masters as Sholom Aleichem, Aksenfeld, Moykher Sforim, Yitzik Leyb Peretz, Rabbi Nakhman and Der Nister, this unique collection includes not only early religious writings and engaging Hassidic yarns but also colourful stories of latter-day realism, fantasy and satire.
