The Life and Teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810).
One of the greatest Jewish religious teachers and mystics, Rabbi Nachman died when he was only 38. But he said the fire he kindled would burn till the days of the Messiah.
' I tried teaching you.' said Rabbi Nachman, ' but it didn't work. So now I'll tell you stories.' They were elaborate tales in which he clothed the secrets of mystical wisdom.
In this programme, Gabriel Woolf reads one of Nachman's most famous stories, The Lost Princess, and Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz discusses its meaning. Robert Rietty reads other extracts from Rabbi Nachman 's works. Presenter Cyril Shaps

A history in 26 parts in the words of those who have made the history
1: Introduction-The Deep Sea
Sea covers 70 per cent of the globe; man himself was cradled in it. Our maritime history is a story which everyone thinks they know - and which on the whole they don't: the great unknown subject. It is an amazing human achievement, and all the more so because so much of it is salt sores, the stench of bilge-water, and weevilly biscuits.
