Tevye is the compassionate, lovable, Bible-quoting dairyman from
Anatevka, and Tevye the Dairyman is a heartwarming and poignant
account of life in turn-of-the-century Russia. Through the workaday
world of a rural dairyman, his grit, wit, and heart, his daughters'
courtships and marriages, and the eventual menace of the pogroms,
Sholem Aleichem reveals the fabric of a now-vanished world. Motl is
the clear-eyed, spirited, mischievous boy who narrates Motl the
Cantor's Son, a comic novel about his emigration with his family
from Russia to America. It is a journey that mirrors a larger
exodus, telling the story of the disintegration of traditional
Jewish life and the beginning of a new chapter of Jewish history in
America.
