Книгу Эмиля Дрейцера можно без преувеличения назвать энциклопедией еврейской жизни в советской России. В живых, сдобренных одесским юмором рассказах перед читателем проходит череда многочисленных больших и малых горестей (цорес), которыми советских евреев одарило антисемитское государство и под гнётом которых они родились, росли и должны были как-то существовать. Автор начинает летопись жизни своих героев с раннего детства, ведёт их через трудности получения образования, выбора специальности, устройства на работу, продвижения по службе. Дрейцер убедительно рисует психологический портрет еврейской эмиграции в Америку. В новой жизни одни не могут найти себя и предаются ностальгическому нытью по прелестям своего прошлого. Другие же, с упорством одолевая препоны незнакомой культуры, перестраиваются и находят счастье в осмысленной, любимой деятельности. Emil Draitser’s book can be called without exaggeration an encyclopedia of Jewish life in Soviet Russia. In lively stories, peppered with Odesa humor, the reader is presented with a series of numerous big and small sorrows ('tsores'), with which Soviet Jews were 'gifted' by the anti-Semitic state and under the oppression under which they were born, grew up, and had to exist somehow. The author begins chronicling the lives of his characters from early childhood, leading them through the difficulties of entering a university, choosing a specialty, finding a job, and being promoted.Draitser convincingly paints a psychological portrait of Jewish emigration to America. In the new life some cannot find themselves and indulge in nostalgic whining about their past’s real or imagined charms. Others, with persistence, overcome the obstacles of an unfamiliar culture, rebuild themselves, and find happiness in meaningful, favorite activities.
