Early edition of this seminal work of the Hasidic movement. Octavo, publisher's original blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine, front panel vignette of whales stamped in gilt. Very good in a good dust jacket with damp-staining to the rear panels of both. Translated by Olga Marx.
Martin Buber’s Tales of the Hasidim: The Early Masters (1947) is a seminal work that collects and interprets stories from the formative figures of the Hasidic movement, presenting them as expressions of spiritual vitality and communal wisdom. By translating oral traditions and folk narratives into a literary form accessible to modern readers, Buber emphasized the existential and relational dimensions of Hasidism, particularly its focus on the immediacy of divine presence in everyday life. The volume reflects Buber’s broader philosophical project of I–Thou dialogue, highlighting how Hasidic masters cultivated intimate relationships between individuals, their communities, and God.
