Synopsis

The third volume in the series Yiddish: Edition & Research presents the Railroad Stories of Sholem Aleichem (1859-1916) in their entirety, for the first time in a bilingual Yiddish-German edition. We encounter in this work one of the three classic writers of Yiddish literature in the genre he excelled in: the short story.
Sholem Aleichem's evocative portrayals of characters and ordinary situations in powerfully expressive monologues have made him famous in the world of Yiddish literature and beyond.
Dan Miron's impressive essay Journey to the Twilight Zone, the afterword to the present edition, offers a comprehensive account of the work's genesis and a multifocal interpretation of its meanings.
