This book includes three famous works by the classic of world literature Sholom Aleichem. In his books, the author, in a unique style, with sparkling humor and sometimes bitter irony, often tells true stories about the difficult and often hopeless life of ordinary Jews: about undisguised poverty, hard work, hopes for a better future, pure love and immense sadness. “I read it, laughed and cried,” so said M. Gorky after reading “Motl Boy” by Sholom Aleichem, and this can be said about any work of this brilliant author.
