Book Description: 1996. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Sholom Aleichem was called "The Yiddish Mark Twain" long before his stories about Tevye the milkman were transmuted into Fiddler on the Roof. He also wrote one love story: The Song of Songs -- now published for the first time in book form. With its echoes of its biblical ancestor, this is the most beautiful love story in Yiddish literature. The story is set in a 19th-century European shtetl. Told in four parts which are gorgeously written and translated, framed by the periodic cycle of the natural world, and decorated with a dozen specially commissioned paintings, this edition of The Song of Songs brings to compassionate life two of the most memorable star-crossed lovers in modern literature. This is a remainder book which is new and never used. It may have a remainder mark on the edge of the pages. 112pages. Printed in English. Bookseller Inventory # 0-7881-9953-6

Book Description: 1996. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Sholom Aleichem was called "The Yiddish Mark Twain" long before his stories about Tevye the milkman were transmuted into Fiddler on the Roof -- but he wrote only one love story: "The Song of Songs", which is considered the most beautiful love story in Yiddish lit. This story of 19th-cent. shtetl Europe is narrated by Shimek, whose older brother drowned, leaving an orphaned daughter. This baby niece -- Buzie -- who is raised as Shimek’s sister, becomes at first an audience for his magical tales; then his traveling companion; and, at last, the love of his life. This love is finally shattered on a fine point of Jewish tradition: Though an uncle may marry his niece, Shimek and Buzie have been raised as brother and sister. Decorated with a dozen paintings. This is a remainder book which is new and never used. It may have a remainder mark on the edge of the pages. 112pages. Printed in English. Bookseller Inventory # 1-4379-5216-X
