Maurice Samuel presents to the English-reading audience one of the richest spirits of the Yiddish language to appear at the beginning of the twentieth century. Through the writings of Isaac Loeb Peretz, he provides access to the lost and lamented world of Polish Jewry. Peretz's folk and Chassidic tales are here retold. The author has arranged them into a pattern that reveals both the life and work of the great writer as well as the basic folklore of the Jews of Poland.

Good condition. Some light wear is present. Please check pictures.

We ship orders from Israel! Most of our products, except new Judaica books, are sourced and shipped FROM Israel. This makes for a unique and diverse selection of vintage and antique Judaica and Israeli products, originating both from Israel, and the diasporic communities ranging from Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and many more. Because we ship internationally, shipping rates on heavier items can be a bit pricy. We do our best to calculate shipping rates accurately to get your unique products to you securely.
