{"product_id":"the-people-of-godlbozhits-9780815610922","title":"The People of Godlbozhits","description":"First published in 1936, The People of Godlbozhits depicts the ordinary yet deeply complex life of a Jewish community, following the fortunes of one family and its many descendants. Set in a shtetl in Poland between the world wars, Rashkin's satiric novel offers a vivid cross-section not only of the residents' triumphs and struggles but also of their dense and complicated web of humanity. With biting humor and acerbic wit, Rashkin portrays the stratified society--the petty bourgeoisie, artisans, and proletariat--observing the crookedness at every level. The novel's brisk and oftentimes lively Yiddish prose and its colorful and irascible cast of characters give readers a Yiddish Yoknapatawpha in all its tragic absurdity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leyb Rashkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.85h x 6.27w x 1.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815610922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeyb Rashkin\u003c\/b\u003e (pen name of Shol Fridman; 1903\/4-1939) was born in Kazimierz Dolny, where he was the manager of a cooperative bank and of several hardware stores. \u003ci\u003eThe People of Godlbozhits\u003c\/i\u003e was awarded a literary prize by the Polish Jewish PEN club. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJordan Finkin\u003c\/b\u003e is a librarian at the Klau Library of the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati.
