Collected from people of all walks of life, they include parables and allegories about life, luck, and wisdom; tales of magic and wonder; poignant encounters between rabbis and their disciples; and stories whose only purpose is to entertain. Long after the culture that produced them tragically disappeared, these enchanting Yiddish folktales continue to work their magic today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith black-and-white illustrations throughout\u003cbr\u003ePart of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly 200 tales in this collection of Jewish folklore reveal the rich culture and tradition of Eastern European Jewry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditor \u003cb\u003eBEATRICE SILVERMAN WEINREICH \u003c\/b\u003e(1928-2008) was for many years a research associate at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York and coeditor of the journal \u003ci\u003eYiidisher Folklor. \u003c\/i\u003eShe published many articles in academic journals on Yiddish culture and folklore. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslator \u003cb\u003eLEONARD WOLF \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Glass Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe False Messiah, \u003c\/i\u003eand of \u003ci\u003eBluebeard: The Life and Crimes of Gilles de Rais. \u003c\/i\u003eAmong his translations from Yiddish are \u003ci\u003eThe Certificate\u003c\/i\u003e by Isaac Bashevis Singer and \u003ci\u003eThe Family Mashber \u003c\/i\u003eby Der Nister.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.23 x 9.17 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 23, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47279090565369,"sku":"9780805210903","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ajdOS0p4R1lmZ1BGdnpzSExuK3doQT09.webp?v=1769015968","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/yiddish-folktales-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
