A bissel glick- a bit of joy in reading these stories,
By
This review is from: A Treasury of Yiddish Stories: Revised and Updated Edition (Mass Market Paperback)
This anthology contains the work of the most well- known of Yiddish storytellers from Shalom Aleichem to I.B. Singer. Among those whose work is included are I.L. Peretz, Opatoshu, Zalman Schneour, Israel Singer, Chaim Grade, Sholem Asch, Moishe Kulbak,
et.al. Naturally the center is the shtetl of Eastern Europe, the world of disasters of the 'Shoah'. But there are also stories which touch upon the New World. The collection contains what in my opinion is one of the finest stories in any language, I.B. Singer's " The Little Shoemakers" Among the translators are Saul Bellow and Alfred Kazin.

By Nancy (West Coast FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Treasury of Yiddish Stories: Revised and Updated Edition (Mass Market Paperback)
Just want to get my two-cents in, 'cause I see this has very few reviews. It is a GREAT collection--a must-have, stories of the Shtetl. Even when I gave away many old books, I kept this one. I bought my brother this updated version several years ago, and he loved it. It has a spectrum from different authors, you can't miss with this one. Enjoy!!
