  • Product Description

    Walter Benjamin and Gershom Scholem are regarded as two of the most famous and influential Jewish thinkers and writers of the twentieth century, and their late work is well known. The importance of the intense intellectual partnership they forged in the years between the First World War and 1923, however, is less appreciated and understood. The meeting of these extraordinary minds produced a dynamic body of ideas that has had a lasting impact on the study of religion, philosophy, and literary criticism. This is the first book to make the works of this untranslated and unpublished early period -including Benjamin´s and Scholem´s ideas on messianism, language, divine justice, and the quest for a philosophy of Judaism -accessible to a wider audience.
