The author prefaces these classic tales with an illuminating introduction to mysticism and its history, a biography of Rabbi Nachman and a critical evaluation of his stories. Also included are a selection of Rabbi Nachman's mystical sayings and an account of the Rabbi's remarkable journey to Palestine.
