Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group Tales of the Hasidim v 12 in 1v
Book SynopsisTwo volumes of the Jewish philosopher's classic work that collects and retells the marvelous legends of Hasidism. This new paperback edition brings together volumes one and two of Buber's classic work Tales of the Hasidim, with a new foreword by Chaim Potok. Martin Buber devoted forty years of his life to collecting and retelling the legends of Hasidim. Nowhere in the last centuries, wrote Buber in Hasidim and Modern Man, has the soul-force of Judaism so manifested itself as in Hasidim... Without an iota being altered in the law, in the ritual, in the traditional life-norms, the long-accustomed arose in a fresh light and meaning.These tales—terse, vigorous, often cryptic—are the true texts of Hasidim. The hasidic masters, of whom these tales are told, are full-bodied personalities, yet their lives seem almost symbolic. Through them is expressed the intensity and holy joy whereby God becomes visible in everything.

Wayne State University Press Giambattista Basiles the Tale of Tales or
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewWith stories marked by vertiginous fantasy, spirited wit, and baroque excess, Basile redefined the fairy tale for European audiences. Nancy Canepa's splendid new translation captures all the narrative energy and stylistic élan of The Tale of Tales and ensures that this collection will finally receive the attention it deserves.'– Maria Tatar, John L. Loeb, Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University and author of The Hard Facts of the Grimms’ Fairy Tales and Off With Their Heads!'Canepa's edition, with its newly-commissioned pen-and-ink illustrations, seems to be aimed at general readers. Basile's Tale of Tales constitutes a crossroads in this landscape, and Canepa has provided a valuable service by making it available again in English.'– Journal of Folklore Research'Reading The Tale of Tales, Giambattisa Basile's 17th-century book of fairy stories, is both exhilarating and exhausting. If that sounds like a warning, it is. If that sounds like a promise, well, good news.'– Genevieve Valentine, NPR Books
