Tevye the Dairyman and The Railroad Stories (Library of Yiddish Classics)

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 Tevyeâ€™s creator, Sholem Rabinovich (1859â€“1916), the â€œJewish Mark Twain,â€ who wrote under the pen name of Sholem Aleichem. Beautifully translated by Hillel Halkin, here is Sholem Aleichemâ€™s heartwarming and poignant account of Tevye and his daughters, together with the â€œRailroad Stories,â€ twenty-one tales that examine human nature and modernity as they are perceived by men and women riding the trains from shtetl to shtetl.
