Download and read online ebook The Worlds of Sholem Aleichem write by Jeremy Dauber. This book was released on 2013-10-08. The Worlds of Sholem Aleichem available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Part of the Jewish Encounters series The first comprehensive biography of one of the most beloved authors of all time: the creator of Tevye the Dairyman, the collection of stories that inspired Fiddler on the Roof. Novelist, playwright, journalist, essayist, and editor, Sholem Aleichem was one of the founding giants of modern Yiddish literature. The creator of a pantheon of characters who have been immortalized in books and plays, he provided readers throughout the world with a fascinating window into the world of Eastern European Jews as they began to confront the forces of cultural, political, and religious modernity that tore through the Russian Empire in the final decades of the nineteenth century. But just as compelling as the fictional lives of Tevye, Golde, Menakhem-Mendl, and Motl was Sholem Aleichem’s own life story. Born Sholem Rabinovich in Ukraine in 1859, he endured an impoverished childhood, married into fabulous wealth, and then lost it all through bad luck and worse business sense. Turning to his pen to support himself, he switched from writing in Russian and Hebrew to Yiddish, in order to create a living body of literature for the Jewish masses. He enjoyed spectacular success as both a writer and a performer of his work throughout Europe and the United States, and his death in 1916 was front-page news around the world; a New York Times editorial mourned the loss of “the Jewish Mark Twain.” But his greatest fame lay ahead of him, as the English-speaking world began to discover his work in translation and to introduce his characters to an audience that would extend beyond his wildest dreams. In Jeremy Dauber’s magnificent biography, we encounter a Sholem Aleichem for the ages. (With 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations)

What he didn’t expect to find was the personal effects of somebody who had disappeared months before. What was stranger was the journal that explained what had happened to that person and the events leading up to their disappearance. Alistair had seen the newspapers which described how the person had been attacked and mutilated, set on fire and left to die. The journal gave the chilling truth and their implications on family and friends. He wasn’t left to die, he did die. Alistair had sought safety and shelter. Instead he had stepped unwittingly in to the end stage of a battle with the Blood Line.
