Избранные (Из жизни маленьких людей)

by שלום עליכם Sholem Aleichem

This book, written by a prominent Yiddish author, offers a satirical look at the lives of “small people” – ordinary individuals from a small town – who find themselves thrust into the bustling, often overwhelming world of a large city. The narrative explores the characters' struggles with urban life, their interactions with society, and the humorous situations that arise from their encounters with the unfamiliar. Through its clever use of irony and wit, the book provides a poignant commentary on the social realities of the time.
