ORIGINS OF TOTALITARIANISM
"A non-fiction bookend to Nineteen Eighty-Four" ~ The New York Times
"The political theorist who wrote about the Nazis and the "banality of evil" has become a surprise bestseller" ~ Guardian
"How could such a book speak so powerfully to our present moment? The short answer is that we, too, live in dark times" ~ Washington Post
"Her greatest work is this 1951 classic ... More than any thinker it was Hannah Arendt who identified how those movements of ideas, racial theories, people and methods take place, showing how they fused with other forces - most notably European antisemitism - to shape and ultimately disfigure the twentieth century" ~ David Olusoga, Guardian
" Her masterpiece ... Arendt's inquiry into the elements of totalitarian domination teaches us we must never let go of the fear of totalItarian government" ~ Los Angeles Review of Books
Hannah Arendt was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1906, and received her doctorate in philosophy from the University of Heidelberg. In 1933, she was briefly imprisoned by the Gestapo, after which she fled Germany for Paris, where she worked on behalf of Jewish refugee children. In 1937, she was stripped of her German citizenship, and in 1941 she left France for the United States. Her many books include The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951), The Human Condition (1958) and Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963), in which she coined the famous phrase 'the banality of evil'. She died in 1975.Автор | Hannah Arendt |
