Martin Buber's Life and Work

Maurice Friedman
Martin Buber's Life and Work is a complete reprint of Maurice Friedman's monumental three-volume biography. Friedman covers Buber's life from his work on I and Thou to the challenges of Nazi Germany and prewar Palestine. He charts Buber's activities on behalf of Jewish-Arab rapprochement, his dialogue with Dag Hammarskjold, and comments on the philosopher's last years, his death, and his legacy to world Jewry. "This moving, remarkably alive biography is as vigorous and as deep as its subject . . . An extraordinary testament to the man and his work. The definitive biography." — Publisher's Weekly

"An overwhelming contribution to the understanding of Martin Buber and his religious philosophy." — Elie Wiesel
