CONTENTS 

Preface Introduction A SHTETL - I. M. Weissenberg  AT THE DEPOT - David Bergelson ROMANCE OF A HORSE THIEF - Joseph Opatoshu BEHIND A MASK - S. Ansky OF BYGONE DAYS - Mendele Mocher Sforim

Because Vaysenberg’s novella came out two years after Sholem Asch’s Dos shtetl, Yiddish critics have tended to contrast Asch’s romantic view of the shtetl with Vaysenberg’s realism and naturalism, features evident in his early short stories. Nonetheless, Vaysenberg’s artistic range is much broader: in his works one can also find traces of a romanticized treatment of Hasidim; stylizations in the spirit of Peretz’s Folkstimlekhe geshikhtn; a deep, psychological approach to the complex erotic situation of women in traditional Polish Jewish society; and a combination of naturalism and sentimentalism in the shaping of characters at the fringes of the underworld. Motifs originating in the satirical maskilic view of the shtetl are combined in his writing with biting humor. (Avraham Novershtern in yivoencyclopedia.org)
