The Lost Princess and Other Kabbalistic Tales of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov

by Nachman of Breslov · Aryeh Kaplan (trans.)

Aryeh Kaplan's translation of Rebbe Nachman's tales, published by the Breslov Research Institute, is accompanied by traditional commentary explaining the Kabbalistic symbolism of each story.
