Tevye The Dairyman And The Railroad Stories by Sholem Aleichem
This collection of tales centers around the character of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman living in Tsarist Russia, who navigates the challenges of poverty, anti-Semitism, and the encroachment of modernity on traditional life. Through a series of monologues, Tevye recounts his trials and tribulations with humor and resilience, including the marriages of his daughters, which often defy his expectations and cultural norms. The stories also explore the broader changes in Jewish society of the time, as characters grapple with the tensions between progress and tradition, and the impact of the outside world on their insular communities.
