Sinossi
Nata nel 1906 a Linden, un sobborgo di Hannover, in una famiglia ebrea benestante, Hannah Arendt ebbe una vita straordinaria. Studentessa brillante e ragazzina fuori dal comune fin dai primi anni di scuola, visse sulla sua pelle la persecuzione antisemita, che la obbligò a vari spostamenti e fughe: dopo gli studi a Marburgo si trasferì con la madre a Berlino, poi quando le ingerenze naziste si fecero più pressanti riparò a Parigi, per approdare infine a New York. Nei suoi movimenti incontrò e divenne amica, amante e consigliera di personaggi straordinari, tra cui Walter Benjamin, Marc Chagall e Martin Heidegger, suo professore all’università, personaggio geniale ma controverso, con cui Hannah visse una tormentata storia d’amore. Illuminante e coinvolgente, il graphic novel di Ken Krimstein offre il ritratto di una donna complessa, profonda, paladina coraggiosa e appassionata della verità, che arrivò a formulare tesi fondamentali per il pensiero politico e filosofico del Novecento. Tesi quanto mai attuali in tempi difficili come i nostri.

“Whatever I do, I am unable to avert my eyes from the reality of the world around me”—Hannah Arendt “As fire lives on oxygen, so the fire of totalitarianism lives on untruth”—Hannah Arendt I absolutely love this comics biography of Arendt, a philosopher who called herself a political theorist, a write Leggi tutto
I WISH MY FEELINGS ON THIS WEREN'T SO MIXED. what i was hoping to get out of this, and what it seemed like i would get out of this, was a half biography/half philosophical summary/all graphic novel fun bonanza. in some ways, i did get that. but also what i got was way more biography than philosophy, Leggi tutto
OMG, the name dropping! The first half of the book is less a story of Arendt than a list of every famous person she ever met. Talk about defining a woman by the men in her life! During the second half this slows down a little bit, but the author still seems pretty intent on mentioning every famous p Leggi tutto
La filosofía (y la historia de la misma) es una asignatura pendiente para muchas personas entre las cuales me encuentro. Acceder al pensamiento de los grandes nombres de esta disciplina suele ser difícil, ya que una buena parte de los textos que se escriben sobre ellos suelen ser de gran complejidad Leggi tutto
A well-intentioned, serious book. Am I damning with faint praise? The problem is that Hannah Arendt was an amazing person, with an exciting almost unbelievable life, who encountered many famous people. That she survived long enough to flee to New York and publish weighty tomes such as The Origins of Leggi tutto
I found this very disappointing. Its badly drawn and badly put-together with not enough substance. Her thoughts are given hardly any airing compared to her chain-smoking and sex with Heidegger. Most annoying of all, it's overloaded with footnotes explaining each person or word mentioned. OK, maybe t Leggi tutto
3.5 stars -- This was a bit different than other graphic novel biographies I've encountered, in that it was a bit on the drier side. That said, Hannah Arendt led such an interesting life that her story still shines through and if you are looking for a different medium by which to learn about her lif Leggi tutto
