A haunting portrait of Arthur Rosenberg, one of Nazism's chief
architects, and his obsession with one of history's most
influential Jewish thinkers In The Spinoza Problem, Irvin Yalom
spins fact and fiction into an unforgettable psycho-philosophical
drama. Yalom tells the story of the seventeenth-century thinker
Baruch Spinoza, whose philosophy led to his own excommunication
from the Jewish community, alongside that of the rise and fall of
the Nazi ideologue Alfred Rosenberg, who two hundred years later
during World War II ordered his task force to plunder Spinoza's
ancient library in an effort to deal with the Nazis' "Spinoza
Problem." Seamlessly alternating between Golden Age Amsterdam and
Nazi Germany, Yalom investigates the inner lives of these two
enigmatic men in a tale of influence and anxiety, the origins of
good and evil, and the philosophy of freedom and the tyranny of
terror.
