The Worlds of Sholem Aleichem: The Remarkable Life and Afterlife of the Man who Created Tevye
Sholem Aleichem was a giant in modern Yiddish literature. In Jeremy Dauber's magnificent biography of the "The Jewish Mark Twain," we learn his life story is as compelling as the fictional lives of his characters - riches and poverty, revolution and emigration, Russia and America, literature, theater, journalism - encountering all the opportunities and pressures of Jewish life in the modern world. Told with wit and warmth by Dauber, professor of Yiddish Literature at Columbia University, we encounter a Sholem Aleichem for the ages. "Sholem Aleichem invented Tevyebut if you think Fiddler on the Roof is the only reason [to] remember him, just wait until you read [this]" Adam Kirsch, author
