Sommario/riassunto |
|
"If Hasidism begins in the life-enhancing spirituality of the Baal Shem Tov, it concludes in the tortuous, elitist and utterly fascinating career of Nahman of Bratslav (1722-1810) whose biography and teaching Arthur Green has set forth in his comprehensive, moving, and subtle study, Tormented Master." |
