Portraits of public and cultural figures in the early twentieth century
Hannah Arendt gathers essays on figures whose lives and work, in her view, brought illumination to the early decades of the twentieth century. The collection ranges across philosophy, politics, religion, literature, and poetry through pieces on Karl Jaspers, Rosa Luxemburg, Pope John XXIII, Isak Dinesen, Bertolt Brecht, Randall Jarrell, and others. United by Arendt’s attention to individual lives in historically difficult circumstances, these portraits place moral and intellectual questions alongside the cultural record of the period. An index supports use as both a connected essay collection and a reference point for its subjects.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in Hannah Arendt’s essays and intellectual portraits
- Students of twentieth-century political, cultural, and moral thought
- Readers seeking writing on figures including Luxemburg, Brecht, Jaspers, and Dinesen
