Review

"The definitive biography" Mary Deeley, Booklist "It s a book that provides not only a superb introduction to Buber s life and work but almost a short course of instruction in the practice of 'I and Thou' as a philosophical method." -Jonathan Kirsch, Los Angeles Times "Highly recommended" -Maurice Tuchman, Library Journal "Buber and his manly worlds come to life here with uncanny accuracy and immediacy." -Susan Miron, New York Newsday"
