This biography of Hannah Arendt, one of the most original and controversial thinkers of the 20th century, goes beyond the reconstruction of the philosopher's life. It exposes her vast work and her era, recreating episodes of a complex existence, intertwined with the great dilemmas and dramas of a cruel century. In addition, it provides a guide for the interpretation of an inescapable work in the field of social and political thought, history, and philosophy.
