Sages and Dreamers
Author: Elie Wiesel
Publisher: Pocket Books
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Reflections by the Nobel-winning philosopher and novelist on the prophets, scribes, and rebbes who comprise the histories and myths of Jewish folklore. Most of these essays were originally given as lectures at the 92nd Street Y in New York, and even in written form they preserve the tone and tempo of extemporary speech. The style is anecdotal rather than scholarly, and Wiesel does not hesitate to bring his opinions to bear.
