<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Jewish folklore and tradition meet "modern" France in twelve quirky tales set in Yiddish-speaking French villages. New 2018 translation. Illustrated.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>JEWISH TALES FROM THE FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE</strong></p><p>The author of these charming stories grew up in a Yiddish-speaking area of Alsace in the 1830s. His village tales capture a Jewish rural world that was vanishing quickly.<br /> <br /> 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.</p><p>This 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 Lévy, a 19th-century Alsatian Jewish artist whose drawings and etchings mesh perfectly with the tales.</p>
