Adventures of Mottel the Cantor's Son



Adventures of Mottel the Cantor's Son (originally Motl peysi dem khazns -- Mottel Son of Peysi the Cantor) was Sholom Aleichem’s last novel, and is regarded as one of his funniest. Written from the perspective of a ten year old orphan boy, the novel centers on an Orthodox-Jewish family during Tsarist Russia of the early 20th Century, and follows them and other members of their small village as they immigrate to the United States.
