Description: Russian-born American humorist Sholem Aleichem, or Sholom Aleichem, originally Solomon Rabinowitz, in Yiddish originally wrote stories and plays, the basis for the musical Fiddler on the roof . This Jew wrote under this pen name, Hebrew for "peace be upon you." From 1883, he produced more than forty volumes as a central figure in literature before 1890. His notable narratives accurately described life with the naturalness of speech of his characters. Early critics focused on the cheerfulness of the characters, interpreted as a way of coping with adversity. Later critics saw a tragic side. Because of the similar style of the author with the pen name of Mark Twain, people often referred to Aleichem as the Jewish version of Twain. Both authors wrote for adults and children and lectured extensively in Europe and the United States.
