In Hebrew. Short description: Shalom Aleichem. From the fair. Moscow, 1946. Sholom Aleichem (real name Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich, 1859–1916) was a Jewish writer and playwright, one of the founders of modern Yiddish fiction, including children’s literature. From the fair – this is how the story about life, which is like a fair, can be called. Everyone is inclined in their own way to compare human life with something. One carpenter, for example, once said: Man is like a carpenter: a carpenter lives, lives and dies, so does a person. I once heard from a shoemaker that human life is like a pair of boots: as long as the soles are intact, the boots remain boots, but as soon as the soles are worn out, then the boots are finished. The driver, of course, can compare a person, no offense to be said, with a horse. Therefore, it would not be surprising if a person like me, who spent fifty years in the hustle and bustle of life and decided to tell about it, had the idea to compare his past with a fair. S. Aleichem. Please feel free to contact us for a detailed description of the copies available. SKUMS002032
