"Tevye the Dairyman" is a collection of stories written by Sholem Aleichem that follows the life of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman in the early 20th century Russia. The tales explore his struggles with family, tradition, and the changing world around him, often infused with humor and warmth. The stories are set in the fictional village of Anatevka and highlight Tevye's relationships with his daughters, each of whom challenges traditional values in their own way. This work has inspired various adaptations, including the famous musical Fiddler on the Roof, which brings Tevye's story to a broader audience.
