The Sages always told stories to convey some of the deepest
secrets about God and His relation to the creation. Rebbe Nachman
developed this ancient method to perfection. More elaborate than
any previous teachings, his stories are fast-moving, richly
structured and filled with penetrating insights <197> while
spellbinding and entertaining. Rabbi Kaplan's translation is
accompanied by a masterful commentary drawn from the works of
Rebbe Nachman's pupils. For the first time the English-speaking
reader has access to authentic interpretations of the stories.
