De Hollywood aux camps de concentration, de la Roumanie de Ceaucescu aux plages de Floride, hantant les vieux châteaux comme les centres commerciaux, les vampires sont partout. Acteurs, tueurs à gages ou paisibles retraités, prenant l'apparence d'innocentes petites filles ou de... vamps, ils vous guettent, vous, observent, prêts à vous saigner à blanc ou à vous inviter à rejoindre le club...
Filled with princesses and witches, dybbuks and wonder-working rebbes, the two hundred marvelous tales that make up this delightful compendium were gathered during the 1920s and 1930s by ethnographers in the small towns and villages of Eastern Europe. Collected from people of all walks of life, they include parables and allegories about life, luck, and wisdom; tales of magic and wonder; stories about rebbes and their disciples; and tales whose only purpose is to entertain. Long after the culture that produced them has disappeared, these enchanting Yiddish folktales continue to work their magic today.
