Classics of Jewish Literature with Adam Kirsch

In The People and the Books, Adam Kirsch explores the Jewish literary tradition, from the biblical books of Deuteronomy and Esther, to the philosophy of Maimonides, to the Zionist manifestos of Theodor Herzl.

“Through profiles of eighteen indelible figures and chronicles, Kirsch uncovers the unfailing excitements of a living, creative and abiding civilization,” wrote Cynthia Ozick. “In this superbly clarifying panorama, he illumines how in the history of ideas Jews, despite so many permutations of approach, have faithfully adhered to a single sublime Idea.”
