In this episode of Penguin Classics On Air, Elda Rotor introduces Penguin Classics editor John Siciliano and his interview with Aliza Shevrin, translator of Tevye the Dairyman and Motl the Cantor's Son, as well as Wandering Stars, about the life and works of Sholem Aleichem, the difference between Fiddler on the Roof and Tevye the Dairyman, Yiddish humor, life, and culture from Russia to the Lower East Side, and what to do with five (or is it three? Or seven?) daughters. Alan Walker, head of academic marketing, recommends Kristin Lavransdatter: The Wreath by Sigrid Undset on "Reading the Classics from A to Z." And Stephen Morrison, associate publisher and editor in chief of Penguin Books, offers up the opening to Sholem Aleichem's Tevye the Dairyman in his segment, "First Pages."
