Il y a peu de mois, l'invitation d'un vieil ami me conduisit en Alsace, dans un village israélite, au milieu de scènes que j'avais pu contempler dès mon enfance, mais où s'alliait pour moi le charme du souvenir à une sorte de nouveauté. Grâce à un singulier hasard, je pus observer durant ces quelques jours non seulement les types les plus curieux de la société israélite des campagnes de l'Alsace, mais les solennités les plus caractéristiques de la vie juive. À la fète religieuse du vendredi soir et du sabbat succédèrent les cérémonies d'un mariage, puis celles des funérailles. Tous ces tableaux se développeront dans l'ordre où ils se sont offerts, sans que l'imagination ait aucune part dans la disposition des divers incidents que j'ai à raconter... Daniel Stauben, de son vrai nom Auguste Widal, est né en 1822 dans le Haut-Rhin. Universitaire et professeur de lettres, cet ouvrage regroupe ses récits historiques sur la société israélite des campagnes de l'Alsace.

JEWISH TALES FROM THE FRENCH COUNTRYSIDEThe author of these charming stories grew up in a Yiddish-speaking area of Alsace in the 1830s. His village tales capture a Jewish rural world that was vanishing quickly. In these stories, you'll meet Salomon, Yedele and their loved ones. You'll share their joys, losses, courtships and holiday celebrations. You'll also meet traditional Alsatian storytellers who recount Yiddish folk tales of ghosts and sorcery, and of "wonder rabbis" who could banish demons and lift curses.This new English translation restores the Yiddishisms and Jewish wording that the author deleted in the 1850s when reworking the stories for a general audience. This edition also adds illustrations by Alphonse Lévy, a 19th-century Alsatian Jewish artist whose drawings and etchings mesh perfectly with the tales.
