Publisher: The Naydus Press


In this captivating novelistic portrayal of his early years in the late 19th-century Romanian countryside, Yiddish writer Yitskhok Horowitz weaves a tapestry of episodic memories through the literary voice of his youthful self. Nestled within the picturesque village of Popricani, the sole Jewish family, the Horowitzes, operated the local tavern, serving as the backdrop for this child's-eye view of a vibrant tapestry of events. From thrilling wolf chases to intriguing accounts of serpent possessions, the narrative unfolds, culminating in the dramatic echoes of the Romanian Peasants' Revolt that resonated within the local community. The Tavern of Popricani, originally published in Yiddish in 1953, offers a poignant and evocative account of the daily rhythms of life for one Jewish family in the remote hinterlands of Eastern Europe. Through its pages, readers are transported to a world of warmth, humor, and resilience, immersing themselves in the intricate tapestry of a bygone era.
