ALEICHEM, S.: Tevye the Milkman (Unabridged)
Here are the stories by the great Yiddish author Sholem Aleichem (known as ‘the Jewish Mark Twain’) that inspired the musical Fiddler on the Roof. The loveable Tevye struggles heroically through life, never losing his sense of humour. Battling with poverty, authority or his rebellious daughters, he might occasionally put in a complaint to the Almighty but he never loses the faith that sustains him. Funny, touching and deeply moving, these tales are an affirmation of the irrepressible courage of the human spirit.
