The legendary correspondence between the critic Walter Benjamin and
the historian Gershom Scholem bears indispensable witness to the
inner lives of two remarkable and enigmatic personalities.
Benjamin, acknowledged today as one of the leading literary and
social critics of his day, was known during his lifetime by only a
small circle of his friends and intellectual confreres. Scholem
recognized the genius of his friend and mentor during their student
days in Berlin, and the two began to correspond after Scholem's
emigration to Palestine. Their impassioned exchange draws the
reader into the very heart of their complex relationship during the
anguished years from 1932 until Benjamin's death in 1940.
