This succinct new biography of Hannah Arendt (1906 -- 1975), "A Life in Dark Times" offers an introduction to the life and work of this philosopher and political theorist. The book is intended for non-specialist readers seeking an introduction to Arendt. At slightly more than 100 pages, the book can be read relatively quickly while riding the train or sitting by oneself in a park. The author, Anne Heller, is a former magazine editor who has written a substantially longer biography of another Jewish immigrant woman philosopher and writer known for her strong trait of independence: "Ayn Rand and the World She Made" (2010). Heller's biography of Arendt allows the reader to get the core of this thinker in brief compass. The book is clearly and engagingly written with an eye to the quick and telling detail. It briefly discusses several of Arendt's writings. The book includes adequate documentation in the endnotes but would have benefitted from a bibliography and an index.The book opens effectively in the middle of Arendt's life. It begins with the work that made her notorious. In 1961, Arendt attended part of the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem. She wrote a series of essays published in the "New Yorker" and then in 1963 as a book, "Eichmann in Jerusalem" consisting of her reporting of and thoughts on the Eichmann trial. The book created a controversy that still persists, especially for the manner in which Arendt portrayed Eichmann, for the phrase, "the banality of evil", and for Arendt's comments on the role that leaders of various Jewish communities allegedly played during the Holocaust. Heller describes the book, some of its weaknesses, and the controversy. This book is the aspect of Arendt's work that most readers will find familiar, and Heller uses it to cast light on Arendt's life before and after the book. She emphasizes Arendt's independence, stubborn streak, and determination to think for herself.The book then doubles back to consider Arendt's childhood in Germany and her years as a brilliant, young student. Heller pays a great deal of attention to young Arendt's three-year affair with the philosopher Martin Heidegger and with the personal and philosophical influence Heidegger exerted on Arendt throughout her life. Heller writes: "[t]he influence of Heidegger on Arendt is hard to overestimate. His teaching deepened her love of rich philosophic and poetic language, words fished from the depths of etymology to express ideas for which there are no adequate conventional descriptions. She believed, with him, that authentic truths arise only 'out of an ultimate and absolute precision in the use of words'".Subsequent chapters of the book describe how Arendt fled Nazi Germany, was interned briefly in a concentration camp, married and divorced her first husband, and met and stayed married to her second, Heinrich Blucher. Arendt became a stateless person and a pariah. In 1941 she and Blucher escaped to the United States. Arendt learned English and began to write. She and Blucher both eventually had academic careers and attained United States citizenship. Heller describes her life and work in the United States using "Eichmann in Jerusalem" as a pivot, with a chapter on the earlier period (1941-- 1961) and a chapter on the latter (1963 -- 1975).Heller describes Arendt as an outsider who was able to use and learn from her status to write books of philosophical importance. She emphasizes Arendt's ambivalent attitude to Judaism as shown in her early work, written in Germany, and continuing to the end of her life. Arendt never was a religious believer. The questions for her involved her attitude towards the Jewish people and its outsider status which formed part, but not all, of her own position as an outsider. Heller briefly describes some of Arendt's important writings, including "The Origins of Totalitarianism", "The Human Condition", "Men in Dark Times", as well as "Eichmann in Jerusalem".Heller's book fulfills its intended purpose of introducing Arendt to interested, busy readers. I learned from her overview and from her discussions. The virtues of the book in offering a good succinct overview also are its limitations. The book has value in itself and may encourage interested readers to think further about Hannah Arendt and the questions which were of importance to her. The publisher of this book kindly provided me with a review copy.Robin Friedman

Anne Heller's biography of Hana Arendt starts fittingly with her report on the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem. In this most controversial of her books and essays, she coined the phrase "the banality of evil" and made sworn enemies of very many of her Jewish friends by pointing an accusing finger at the Jewish leadership in the Nazi-conquered Europe for their alleged collaboration with the Nazis, and also blaming the State of Israel and the Eichmann prosecutor, Hausner, for making the trial a politcal staged event. She was widely criticized for her forgiving Heidegger, her mentor and clndestine lover when she was a very young woman, for his antisemitism and pro-active collaboration with the Nazis. Regardless of the accusations being right, or wrong, or both -Hana Arendt was never banal. A brilliant thinker, a logical though passionate writer, a humanist - she was her own woman from the start until her last days. She might not have benn a great philosopher, but she shared the philosophers (as well as most left-wing intellectuals) mental kink to seek a unified theory of everything and choosing the evidence that supports this system in everything. This brief biography of the authoress of the famous "Origins of Totalitarianism" is well written, comprehensive yet not tedious, concise yet not lacking detail, compassionate yet not blind. Definitely worth the time

The life and the work of Hannah Arendt appears interwoven in this short book. Anne Heller refers the main events of Arendt's life and discuss some of her most important books. Giving context to "Eichmann in Jerusalem" and "The Origins of Totalitarianism", the author provides useful tools to comprehend it. Arendt's ideas, in many aspects beyond the time in which they were exposed, emerge in a comprehensive way in this introductory work.

Hannah Arendt is not only one of the more provocative twentieth century thinkers but a fascinating person in her own right. Writer Anne C. Heller accomplishes a remarkable feat with this compact and well-written account of Arendt’s life. She presents the thinker’s ideas in a clear and understandable fashion while at the same time interweaves the drama of Arendt’s life. And drama it had from her intellectual and romantic relationship with philosopher Martin Heidegger to her escape from Nazi Europe, from her return after the war to help resettle children of the Holocaust to her ascendency in the intellectual circles of her adopted America.Typical of Heller’s judicious use of telling moments is when she recounts how Heidegger, after the relationship between the two ended, saw Arendt through the window of a railway carriage but failed to recognize her.It also became clear to me reading Heller’s book, that Arendt’s controversial reporting and writing on the Adolf Eichmann trial—during which she coined the phrase “the banality of evil”—took an enormous personal toll on her life.When I read these and other parts of the book, Arendt as a person came to life. I had been deeply influenced by her ideas when I was young but I had always thought of her as a “thinker.” This book helps me see the rest of her. For that I am very grateful, and you will be as well when you read this book.

Fascinating to learn about Hannah Arendt and the ddevelopment of her thought. Wonderful life of a great writer and thinker. She was true to life of great human.

A thoughtful and engaging introduction to the remarkable life, work, and courage of one of finest observers and philosophers of the 20th century.

A commendable, easy read introducing Arendt's life, including the explosive Eichmann controversy, her difficult-to-grasp long-term relationship with Heidegger and more. But of course, there are many more insights and rewards waiting for those willing and able to dive deeper into the large and rewarding body of her trailblazing writings.
