This classic work explores the                 personality and religious quest of Nahman of Bratslav                 (17721810), one of Hasidism's major figures. It                 unlocks the great themes of spiritual searching that make him a                 figure of universal religious importance. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eIn this major biography, Dr. Arthur                 Greenteacher, scholar, and spiritual                 seekerexplores the great personal conflicts and inner                 torments that lay at the source of Nahman's teachings. He                 reveals Nahman to have been marked at an early age by an                 exaggerated sense of sin and morbidity that later characterized                 his life and thought. While subject to rapid mood swings and                 even paranoia, Nahman is a model of spiritual and personal                 struggle who speaks to all generations. Green's analysis                 of this troubled personality provides an important key to                 Nahman's famous tales, making his teachings accessible                 for people of all faiths, all backgrounds. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eIf there is any single feature                 about Nahman's tales, and indeed about Nahman's                 life as well, that makes them unique in the history of Judaism,                 it is just this: their essential motif is one of quest. Nahman,                 both as teller and as hero of these tales, is Nahman the                 seeker. He has already told us, outside the tales, of his                 refusal ever to stand on any one rung, of his call for constant                 growth, of his need to open himself up to ever-new and more                 demanding challenges to his faith. The tales now affirm this                 endless quest\u003cbr\u003efrom                 Excursus II.
