Summary
A biography exploring the connection between Arendt's life and her thinking, as well as her tumultuous relationship with philosophy and politics. Pp. 48-54 deal with Rahel Varnhagen and the problems of Jewish assimilation; pp. 54-123 deal with Arendt's exile in France between 1933-41, and her attempts, between 1941-51 in the U.S., to grasp the essence of totalitarianism. Pp. 220-240 examine the genesis and the main ideas of her book "Eichmann in Jerusalem, " as well as the polemics these ideas engendered.
