Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Hannah Arendt: A Life in Dark Times. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. The acclaimed biographer presents "a perceptive life of the controversial political philosopher" and author of Eichmann in Jerusalem (Kirkus Reviews).   Hannah Arendt was a polarizing cultural theorist-extolled by her peers as a visionary and berated by her critics as a poseur and a fraud. Born in Prussia to assimilated Jewish parents, she escaped from Hitler's Germany in 1933. Arendt is now best remembered for the storm of controversy that surrounded her 1963 New Yorker series on the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a kidnapped Nazi war criminal.   Arendt's first book, The Origins of Totalitarianism, single-handedly altered the way generations around the world viewed fascism and genocide. Her most famous work, Eichmann in Jerusalem, created fierce debate that continues to this day, exacerbated by the posthumous discovery that she had been the lover of the philosopher and Nazi sympathizer Martin Heidegger.   In this comprehensive biography, Anne C. Heller tracks the source of Arendt's contradictions and achievements to her sense of being a "conscious pariah"-one of those rare people who doesn't "lose confidence in ourselves if society does not approve us" and will not "pay any price" to gain the acceptance of others.…

Her novels and essays have attracted tens of millions of readers, shaped the Libertarian movement, and influenced White House economic policy throughout the Ford, Reagan, and Bush administrations. She remains a powerful force in the political perceptions of Americans today. Yet twenty~five years after her death, her readers know little about her life. In this seminal biography, Anne C. Heller chronicles Ayn Rand's troubled childhood in Russia before and during the Russian Revolution, her lone arrival in America at the age of twenty~one, her apprenticeship as a screenwriter in Hollywood, and the courage and tenacity with which she produced her powerful and popular novels of ideas in the 1940s and 1950s. While most established writers of the time ridiculed her, young people flocked to her books and theories, forming an immense cult around her in the 1950s and 1960s. Heller vividly traces the development of the author's ideas, the hidden influences in her books, her tangled love life, and the rise and fall of her cult. Throughout, Heller brings new facts, new insight, and a fresh perspective to the dramatic story of Ayn Rand's life and work. Ayn Rand died in 1982. Based on original research from the Russian archives, scores of interviews with Rand's remaining family, acquaintances, colleagues, and followers, and previously unexamined archives of tapes and letters, Ayn Rand and the World She Made is a broad and enlightening portrait of one of the most significant and improbable figures of recent history.…
