Description

The endless debate about whose faith is better and whose God is “more correct” found its reflection in a dispute between a rabbi and a Capuchin, which ended unexpectedly—yet quite logically for both of them. According to critics, “The Dispute” is one of the best satirical works by Heinrich Heine.
