Schocken Books Inc Tevye the dairyman and the railroad stories, paperback/sholem aleichem

• O stea, bazat pe 1 voturi

Of all the characters in modern Jewish fiction, the most beloved is Tevye, the compassionate, irrepressible, Bible-quoting dairyman from Anatevka, who has been immortalized in the writings of Sholem Aleichem and in acclaimed and award-winning theatrical and film adaptations.

And no Yiddish writer was more beloved than Tevye s creator, Sholem Rabinovich (1859 1916), the Jewish Mark Twain, who wrote under the pen name of Sholem Aleichem.

Beautifully translated by Hillel Halkin, here is Sholem.
