Adam Kirsch examines eighteen foundational texts of the Jewish canon, ranging from the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud to the works of modern thinkers like Franz Kafka and Gershom Scholem. Through nuanced analysis, the author explores how these diverse writings have shaped Jewish identity, intellectual history, and the evolving relationship between tradition and modernity across centuries of literary production.
