The Correspondence of Walter Benjamin and Gershom Scholem, 1932-1940

Author: Walter Benjamin
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674174153
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 322

Book Description
The legendary correspondence between the critic Walter Benjamin and the historian Gershom Scholem bears indispensable witness to the inner lives of two remarkable and enigmatic personalities. Benjamin, acknowledged today as one of the leading literary and social critics of his day, was known during his lifetime by only a small circle of his friends and intellectual confreres. Scholem recognized the genius of his friend and mentor during their student days in Berlin, and the two began to correspond after Scholem's emigration to Palestine. Their impassioned exchange draws the reader into the very heart of their complex relationship during the anguished years from 1932 until Benjamin's death in 1940.
