| Abstract | "Nachman of Bratslav, descended from the founder of the Hasidic movement, carved a unique path as a Jewish spiritual leader. Towards the end of his life, he lost his young son, prompting him to turn increasingly inward and seek consolation from the world of the creative imagination. The result was the thirteen fascinating tales in this collection. A landmark in Jewish literature, they depict a surrealworld where princes bleed jewels and princesses sail the seas in men's clothing, leaving destruction in their wake." --publisher's website. |
