Bronze casting of a 'Tuvya of Anatevka'. Europe 19th Century
Bronze casting of a 'Tevye the milkman'.
Weight: 2.5 kg.
Tuvya is the fictional narrator and protagonist of a series of short stories by Sholem Aleichem, and their various adaptations, the most famous being the musical Fiddler on the Roof, which premiered on Broadway in 1964, and its 1971 film adaptation.
Tevye is a pious Jewish dairyman living in the Russian Empire, the patriarch of a family including several troublesome daughters. The village of Boyberik, where the stories are set (renamed Anatevka in Fiddler on the Roof), is based on the town of Boyarka, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire.
Boyberik is a suburb of Yehupetz (based on Kyiv), where most of Tevye's customers live.
The stories were written in Yiddish and first published in 1894; they have been published as Tevye and His Daughters, Tevye's Daughters, Tevye the Milkman, and Tevye the Dairyman.
