She was courageous in the time of crisis. Years later, she was even able to meet Heidegger once again on common ground and to find in his past behavior an insight into Nazism that would influence her reflections on \"the banality of evil\"--a concept that remains bitterly controversial and profoundly influential to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut how could Arendt have renewed her friendship with Heidegger? And how has this relationship affected her reputation as a cultural critic? In \u003cem\u003eStranger from Abroad\u003c\/em\u003e, Daniel Maier-Katkin offers a compassionate portrait that provides much-needed insight into this relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaier-Katkin creates a detailed and riveting portrait of Arendt's rich intellectual and emotional life, shedding light on the unique bond she shared with her second husband, Heinrich Bl cher, and on her friendships with Mary McCarthy, W. H. Auden, Karl Jaspers, and Randall Jarrell--all fascinating figures in their own right. An elegant, accessible introduction to Arendt's life and work, \u003cem\u003eStranger from Abroad\u003c\/em\u003e makes a powerful and hopeful case for the lasting relevance of Arendt's thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
