His village tales capture a Jewish rural world that was vanishing quickly.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In these stories, you'll meet Salomon, Yedele and their loved ones. You'll share their joys, losses, courtships and holiday celebrations. You'll also meet traditional Alsatian storytellers who recount Yiddish folk tales of ghosts and sorcery, and of \"wonder rabbis\" who could banish demons and lift curses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new English translation restores the Yiddishisms and Jewish wording that the author deleted in the 1850s when reworking the stories for a general audience. This edition also adds illustrations by Alphonse L vy, a 19th-century Alsatian Jewish artist whose drawings and etchings mesh perfectly with the tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 18, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47466916905138,"sku":"9780997825473","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/ecbdddbd72fa3509704faefe65ddcf44.webp?v=1779034827","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/scenes-of-jewish-life-in-alsace-village-tales-from-19th-century-france-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
