I noticed Curt Leviant's novel, "The Man Who Thougt He Was Messiah", on your website and was fascinated by the title. The book too is fascinating, a page-turner full of exciting adventures, a great love story and loads of spirituality. The hero, Reb Nachman, exchanges melodies with Beethoven whom he meets in Vienna; he also has the ability to levitate. After reading the book, I looked for reviews, and they were terrific. The New York Times Book Review (Dec 16, 1990) and Publishers Weekly (Aug 24, 1990). And Elie Wiesel wrote (quoted on the dust jacket) "This beautiful and moving fictional narrative -- Curt Leviant's best -- deserves our attention. It is the work of a gifted writer. Read it and you will plunge into an enchanting spiritual universe -- filled with imagination, humor and warmth -- that to our deep regret exists no more."
