Jewish Children (Yudishe Kinder)
'Jewish Children (Yudishe Kinder)' Summary
This collection of stories by Sholem Aleichem, originally published in Yiddish as 'Yudishe Kinder,' offers a poignant and often humorous glimpse into the lives of Jewish children in a late 19th-century Russian-Jewish village. The stories, told from a child's perspective, portray the challenges, joys, and absurdities of daily life in a shtetl, from poverty and religious constraints to family dynamics and the struggle for education. Aleichem's sharp wit and keen understanding of human nature make these stories both entertaining and thought-provoking, providing a unique and insightful window into a forgotten world.Book Details
