Reviews
A book that saw its beginning in one world conflict, was written under the impact of another, and deals with a great spiritual struggle to realize the meaning of still another, a century and a half earlier, is surely a book that speaks to the condition of our time., It is . . . one of the crowning achievements of Buber's lifetime of significant work, a profound literary work which may properly be compared to Dostoievsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov in its dialectic between types of religious figures and in the depths of its insights into the problem of evil and of human existence.
