Classic Yiddish Fiction provides an overview and interprets the Yiddish fiction of S.Y. Abramovitsh, Sholem Aleichem, and I.L. Peretz. While analyzing their works, Frieden situates these three authors in their literary world and in relation to their cultural contexts. Two or three generations ago, Yiddish was the primary language of Jews in Europe and America. Today, following the Nazi genocide and half a century of vigorous assimilation, Yiddish is sinking into oblivion. By providing a bridge to the lost continent of Yiddish literature, Frieden returns to those European traditions. This journey back to Ashkenazic origins also encompasses broader horizons, since the development of Yiddish culture in Europe and America parallels the history of other ethnic traditions.Social problems in literatureSatire, YiddishHistory and criticismSocial problems in literature.Satire, YiddishHistory and criticism.839/.0933Frieden Ken1955-1494188MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778853903321Classic Yiddish fiction3717579UNINA
