Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Gershom Scholem was a teenager when he and Walter Benjamin became close friends. Here he illuminates their common engagement with the Kabbalah and sharp disagreement over Marxism, while registering his undying sorrow at Benjamins refusal to emigrate to Palestine and his suicide in 1940. This remarkable memoir is both a portrait of two searching thinkers and a moving exploration of the meaning of friendship. An invaluable document about ... two of the centurys most profound minds. Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:

The great Jewish scholar shares his insights into philosopher Walter Benjamin, a childhood friend who committed suicide in 1940. Reprint.
