The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt

Resumen del Libro

Winner of the Bernard J. Brommel Award for Biography & Memoir Best Graphic Novels of the Year--Forbes Jewish Book Award Finalist Finalist for the Chautauqua Prize For Persepolis and Logicomix fans, a New Yorker cartoonist’s page-turning graphic biography of the fascinating Hannah Arendt, the most prominent philosopher of the twentieth century. One of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century and a hero of political thought, the largely unsung and often misunderstood Hannah Arendt is best known for her landmark 1951 book on openness in political life,The Origins of Totalitarianism, which, with its powerful and timely lessons for today, has become newly relevant. She led an extraordinary life. This was a woman who endured Nazi persecution firsthand, survived harrowing "escapes" from country to country in Europe, and befriended such luminaries as Walter Benjamin and Mary McCarthy, in a world inhabited by everyone from Marc Chagall and Marlene Dietrich to Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. A woman who finally had to give up her unique genius for philosophy, and her love of a very compromised man--the philosopher and Nazi-sympathizer Martin Heidegger--for what she called "love of the world." Compassionate and enlightening, playful and page-turning, New Yorker cartoonist Ken Krimstein's The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt is a strikingly illustrated portrait of a complex, controversial, deeply flawed, and irrefutably courageous woman whose intelligence and "virulent truth telling" led her to breathtaking insights into the human condition, and whose experience continues to shine a light on how to live as an individual and a public citizen in troubled times.

Crecer era esto

Son mis amigas, pero podrían ser las tuyas. Las que se ríen contigo hasta en quimioterapia, las que te ayudan con la mudanza de tu corazón roto, las que te convencen para teñirte el pelo de rosa. Este libro es un homenaje a las mujeres que nos rodean. A sus miserias, sus ilusiones e inseguridades. A las desastrosas visitas al psicólogo sobre el silencio que educó a varias generaciones. A la maternidad, la pérdida, y a la locura, a veces cruda y a veces superficial. Es un homenaje a también ¿por qué no? a los inmundos outfits que tuvieron que llevar en los años ochenta, a las letras ...
