- Summary:
- Heinrich Heine, Franz Kafka, Sigmund Freud, Arnold Schoenberg--all were Jews who considered themselves more European than Jewish. Yet their experience of anti-Semitism and injustice undermined a full commitment to their native German or Austrian heritage. Their writings about Moses are the focal point in this eloquent book about Jewish identity and assimilation, tradition and cultural allegiance.
