Librería: Hammonds Antiques & Books, St. Louis, MO, Estados Unidos de America
Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 264 pages; Gershom Scholem is celebrated as the twentieth century's most profound student of the Jewish mystical tradition; Walter Benjamin, as a master thinker whose extraordinary essays mix the revolutionary, the revelatory, and the esoteric. Scholem was a precocious teenager when he met Benjamin, who became his close friend and intellectual mentor. His account of that relationshipÃ'which was to remain crucial for both menÃ'is both a celebration of his friend's spellbinding genius and a lament for the personal and intellectual self-destructiveness that culminated in Benjamin's suicide in 1940.At once prickly and heartbroken, argumentative and loving, Walter Benjamin: The Story of a Friendship is an absorbing memoir with the complication of character and motive of a novel. As Scholem revisits the passionate engagements over Marxism and Kabbala, Europe and Palestine that he shared with Benjamin, it is as if he sought to summon up his lost friend's spirit again, to have the last word in the argument that might have saved his life.

Soft cover. Condición: Fine. Paperback reprint of the Jewish Publication Society of America edition from 1981. Translated from the German by Harry Zohn. 242pp. Includes letters in Appendix & an Index. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "This memoir chronicles the intimate friendship of two masters of the spirit: Gershom Scholem, the foremost Jewish scholar of our age, whose lifework has been the almost single-handed reconstruction of Jewish mysticism, and Walter Benjamin, regarded by many as the greatest philosopher-critic of the century. They first met as young men in Berlin, in 1915, when Benjamin was twenty-three and Scholem seventeen. There was an immediate affinity between these two brilliant polymaths. They pursued their intense discussions of Judaism, religion, philosophy, and literature at every opportunity; when they were separated their exchange went on in essaylike letters, many of them reproduced here. Ultimately, their paths diverged. Scholem, convinced that there was no future for Jews and Judaism in Germany, emigrated to Palestine in 1923. Benjamin, under the influence of, among others, Theodor Adorno and Bertolt Brecht, became increasingly drawn to Marxism, and remained in Europe. Fleeing the Nazis, Benjamin committed suicide when he was detained at the French-Spanish border in 1940." [publisher copy] "The force of this remarkable memoir derives as much from the insights it offers into the mind and beliefs of the writer as into those of its subject."--Publishers Weekly. "At once prickly and heartbroken, argumentative and loving, WALTER BENJAMIN: THE STORY OF A FRIENDSHIP is an absorbing memoir with the complication of character and motive of a novel. As Scholem revisits the passionate engagements over Marxism and Kabbala, Europe and Palestine that he shared with Benjamin, it is as if he sought to summon up his lost friend's spirit again, to have the last word in the argument that might have saved his life." [NYRB blurb] Handsome & pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, & a nice cover photo of a contemplative Benjamin. Quite presentable.
