Industry Reviews
"The love affair of Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt, which took place in the 1920s, when he was her teacher and she was his student has been public knowledge for years. But not the details: and so there has been a great deal of speculation about the personal and intellectual consequences of the liaison. In her important and laconic book, Elizbieta Ettinger puts all the speculation to rest. Here are the essentials of the story, of this last tango in Weimar."
New Republic - Wolin (10/09/1995)
"This is a most valuable book, an important record, and a great story of tragic love. There are revelations here that are likely to cause a sensation."
Afred Kazin
"...Ms. Ettinger's tale is absorbing and cruelly fascinating. She is scrupulously attentive to the known facts and unsparing in her exposure of both Heidegger's mendacity and Arendt's propensity for self-deception where the philosopher was concerned."
New York Times - Richard Bernstein
"... the ballad of Hannah amd Martin is fascinating, revealing sides of these remarkable personalities that until now have been hidden. And at a time when Arendt is finding new readers, Ettinger's little book will probably generate a new round of Arendt-bashing among old enemies."
