Summary/Abstract: The text by Pesach Bergman (1898–1944) is an excerpt from his fictionalized memoirs about the life of the shtetl of Widawa from the late 19th century to the 1930s. Written in Yiddish, it was translated into Polish by Dr. Marcin Urynowicz, with the assistance of Sara Arm. It constitutes an original and unique literary genre in itself, which is closest to the meditation (Latin: soliloquia), combining elements of social criticism and sentimental recollections.
