Riassunto

This medley of Jewish Eastern European tales is based on written and oral sources, blending old and traditional Jewish values with the character and flavor unique to these regions.
Many of the stories included in this book may be considered treasures that have yet to be presented to the Jewish and general public. Some versions of these tales have been published in different anthologies and languages over the years, but many are practically unknown. This selection includes stories from varied oral and written sources, mainly Czech, Slovak, German, and some Yiddish, Polish, and Hungarian.
The reader will encounter a variety of topics that span several centuries. Some are tales of fantasy and imagination while others lean on reality and fact rather than legend. A few are based on contemporary personal events and reminiscences.
