Tevye the Dairyman ((:ˈtɛvjə), Yiddish: טבֿיה דער מילכיקער ''Tevye der milkhiker'', Hebrew: טוביה החולב) is the fictional narrator and protagonist of a series of short stories by Sholem Aleichem, originally written in Yiddish, and first published in 1894. The character is best known from the fictional memoir ''Tevye and his Daughters'' (also called ''Tevye's Daughters'', ''Tevye the Milkman'' or ''Tevye the Dairyman'') as a pious Jewish milkman in Tsarist Russia with six troublesome daughters: Tzeitel, Hodel, Chava, Shprintze, Bielke, and Teibel. He is also known from the musical dramatic adaptation of ''Tevye and His Daughters'', ''Fiddler on the Roof.'' The Village of Boyberik, where the stories are set, is based on the town of Boyarka in Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire). Tevye begins his literary life in 1894 with seven daughters. Over time, as Tevye "tells" Aleichem the tales of his family life, six of his seven daughters (Bielke, Chava, Hodel, Shprintze, Taybele, and Tzeitel) are named, and of these five play leading roles in Tevye's stories. The Tevye stories tell of his business dealings; the romantic dealings and marriages of several of his daughters; and the expulsion of the Jews from their village by the Russian government. The Tevye stories have been adapted for stage and film several times, including several Yiddish-language musicals. Most famously, it was adapted as the Broadway musical and later film ''Fiddler on the Roof''. The Broadway musical was based on a play written by Arnold Perl called ''Tevye and his Daughters.'' ''Tevye the Dairyman'' had three film adaptations; in Yiddish (1939), English (1971) and Russian (1991). ==Stories== ''Tevye the Dairyman'' comprises eight stories, with Tevye each time supposedly meeting Sholom Aleichem by chance and relating the latest tale of his trials and tribulations: # ''Tevye Strikes It Rich'' (also translated as ''The Great Windfall'') # ''Tevye Blows A Small Fortune'' (also translated as ''The Roof Falls In'' or ''The Bubble Bursts'') # ''Today's Children'' (also translated as ''Modern Children'') # ''Hodl'' # ''Chava'' # ''Shprintze'' # ''Tevye Leaves for the Land of Israel'' (also translated as ''Tevye Goes to Palestine'' or ''Tevye is Going to Eretz Yisroel'') # ''Lekh-Lekho'' (also translated as ''Get Thee Out'') The original stories included events not depicted in ''Fiddler on the Roof''. For instance, by the time of the events of ''Lekh-Lekho'', Tevye's wife Golde and Tzeitl's husband Motl (Motel) have both died (Tevye's daughter Shprintze is also dead, according to the story "Shprintze"). Also, in ''Lekh-Lekho'', upon learning of the Jews' expulsion, Chava leaves her Russian Orthodox husband, wanting to return to her family and share their exile. Aleichem leaves it to the reader to decide whether Tevye forgives her and takes her back, saying: and ending the story with "The old God of Israel still lives!" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tevye」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
