Memories and Scenes: Shtetl, Childhood, Writers is the first
English translation of eleven autobiographical short stories by the
19th century Eastern European Yiddish writer, Jacob Dinezon
(1852-1919). A beloved and successful Jewish novelist who
championed Yiddish as a literary language, Dinezon befriended and
mentored almost every major literary figure of his day, including
the three classic writers of modern Yiddish literature, Sholem
Abramovitsh (Mendele Moykher Sforim), Sholem Aleichem, and Isaac
Leybush Peretz. Though Dinezon's place in the development of
Yiddish literature has been neglected over time, the publication of
these stories sets him firmly in the ranks of his fellow Yiddish
writers for current and future generations. Through poignantly
drawn characters and keen observations, Dinezon provides a
firsthand look into 19th century shtetl life and a treasure trove
of Yiddish history, culture and values.
