Moshkeleh the Thief

Sholom Aleichem, Curt Leviant

Description

“his almost-forgoten novel by one of the greatest Jewish writers of all time is revelatory, vividly depicting an alltoo-rarely-seen side of Yiddish literature and Jewish life; its rendering here, by one of Jewish literature’s greatest translators, provides a crackling energy beiting its material. Don’t start it too late in the evening; you won’t be able to put it down.” —J e r e m yD a u b e r ,Columbia University professor and author ofhe Worlds of Sholem Aleichem “his rediscovered short novel by Sholom Aleichem is a gem—a vivid representation of the underside of Jewish life in Eastern Europe, funny, touching, and biting. Curt Leviant has done a remarkable job with the English translation, aptly catching the pungent colloquial character of the Yiddish.” —R o b e r tA lt e r , emeritusprofessor of Hebrew and comparative literature, University of California, Berkeley, andauthor of he Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary “Moshkele Ganev lies in the face of so much of what we think of when we imagine Eastern European Jewish life. Here, Sholom Aleichem brings us the broadest of visions of that world, not merely by dramatizing the shady characters on society’s margins, but also by inviting us into their emotional lives and uncovering the complicated power structures that can turn them into heroes. For any reader who cares about the Jewish past, this neverbefore-translated gem will be a revelation—and a delight.
