| Summary |
Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman with 5 unmarried daughters and a sharp-tongued wife, struggles to support his family in a poor village in Czarist Russia. Aware of growing anti-Semitism in the village, Tevye talks to God about his troubles. His people's traditions keep him strong when his existence is as precariously balanced as a fiddler on the roof. |
