Description

Sholem Aleichem’s (1859-1916) famous cycle of stories, “In the Small World of Small People,” and the novella “Summer Romances,” have long been out of print in Russia. Some stories have been translated for the first time for this collection.

On the pages of this book, you will meet the inhabitants of a fictional village that doesn’t appear on any map—Kasrilovka. But it was here that many of Sholem Aleichem’s favorite characters lived; from here, the celebrated boy Motl left for America. Kind, full of optimism and inexhaustible humor, these stories are read with no less interest today than they were a hundred years ago.
