S. A. An-sky's novel dramatizes the dilemmas of Jewish young
people in late Tsarist Russia as they strive to throw off their
traditional religious upbringing to adopt a secular and modern
identity. The action unfolds in the town of M. in the Pale of
Settlement, where an engaging cast of characters wrestles with
cultural and social issues. Their exploits culminate in helping a
young Jewish woman evade an arranged marriage and a young Russian
woman leave home so she can pursue her studies at a European
university. This startling novel reveals the tensions and triumphs
of coming of age in a revolutionary time.
