Genius and Anxiety: How Jews Changed the World, 1847–1947 (en Inglés) - Norman Lebrecht

" Fantastic book. It provides a beautiful insight to a jewish leitmotif of anxiety and a sense of not-belonging, which is belonging itself, that drove creative and scientific genius, enabling our times to structure as they do. Humorous through smart jewish truisms, thought-provoking all along and well contextualized in a historicist approach which neither points at a singularity argument nor does it ignore the non-rational and mystical (not in a pejorative sense, but recognizing its inaccessibility to a single human mind) components of sacred scriptures. I absolutely recommend. "
