{"product_id":"martin-and-hannah-9781573929066","title":"Martin and Hannah","description":"Germany, 1975. Two women near the end of their lives come together at the bedside of an old man, after having spent the last fifty years vying for first place in his heart. While one of the 20th century's greatest minds slumbers in the grip of nightmares, the two enemies sit in a nearby room and declare a truce. One is the man's wife, a woman who has always played her role as the devoted mother and the obedient, bourgeois Hausfrau to the Great Man and the tyrannical husband. The other is his former student and lover, nearly twenty years his junior. She is the Jewish intellectual consumed by her clear-sightedness. He is the brilliant and famous philosopher, now tormented by his Nazi past.\u003cbr\u003eIn this wide-ranging score, each performer has an individual theme, yet each shares some of the notes of the others. But, above all, this fugue for three voices reveals the mark of the greatest tragedy of the century: for the characters are Martin Heidegger, his wife Elfriede, and Hannah Arendt.\u003cbr\u003eCatherine Clement skillfully paints a chiaroscuro portrait of forbidden love, recreating a famous love affair while turning the subtle intricacies of philosophy into memorable, enduring fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prometheus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573929066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/12\/2001 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2001 pg. 1225\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/11\/2001\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Catherine Clement","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52107785502901,"sku":"9781573929066","price":26.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ab4ae92c-a8b5-4295-b8d9-832163214c67.jpg?v=1765862328","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/martin-and-hannah-9781573929066","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
