Amor sin mundo

Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt met in 1925 at the University of Marburg. He was a teacher and she was his student. He was married and she was single. She was eighteen years old and he was thirty-five. This is how Amor sin mundo begins, Miquel Esteve's extraordinary novel about this relationship that they maintained until the end of their lives despite all the obstacles. Amor sin mundo narrates in a fast-paced manner, and at the same time with extreme delicacy, the tumultuous idyll between two of the great figures of European philosophy and thought. How can an intellectual and sensitive Jew and a highly prestigious professor who was a member of Hitler's party love each other? Always torn by an anguishing tension, the relationship between Arendt and Heidegger evolves stormily and becomes an example of spiritual and philosophical love that goes beyond the mundane: love without a world. Miquel Esteve has managed to capture one of the most incredible, contradictory and passionate love stories of the last century, still surprisingly forgotten today, which advances against the backdrop of some crucial events that would forever mark the future of humanity. An ideal reading to delve into the life and work of two key intellectuals for understanding the contemporary world.
