A genre-breaking insight into one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th
century' Stylist's Emerald Street'Incredible' Deborah LevyA hero of
political thought, the largely unsung and often misunderstood Hannah
Arendt is perhaps best known for her landmark book, The Origins of
Totalitarianism. Arendt led an extraordinary life. Having endured Nazi
persecution firsthand, she fled across Europe, coming to live in a
world inhabited by such luminaries as Marc Chagall, Marlene Dietrich,
Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud.
She ultimately sacrificed her
unique genius for philosophy and her love of a much-compromised man -
the philosopher and Nazi-sympathiser Martin Heidegger - for what she
called 'love of the world'. Strikingly illustrated, this compassionate
and timely biography illuminates the life of a complex, controversial,
deeply flawed yet irrefutably courageous woman whose experiences and
writings shine a light on how to live as an individual and a public
citizen in troubled times.
