The short answer is that we, too, live in dark times' Washington PostHannah Arendt's chilling analysis of the conditions that led to the Nazi and Soviet totalitarian regimes is a warning from history about the fragility of freedom, exploring how propaganda, scapegoats, terror and political isolation all aided the slide towards total domination. '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

(Hannover, Germany, 1906 - New York, United States, 1975) Arendt has established herself as one of the fundamental reference points for the understanding of political philosophy. Born in Hannover, she studied in Marburg, Freiburg, and Heidelberg, where she graduated in Philosophy. In 1933, when the Nazis came to power, she emigrated to Paris. Later, she settled in the United States, where she directed the Conference on Jewish Relations (1944-1946) and also the Jewish Cultural Reconstruction Inc. She was a professor at the University of Chicago and also taught at Columbia, Princeton, and Berkeley.
