"The correspondence is a biographical document of the first order for two important figures of this century." Bayerischer Rundfunk
"Anyone who reads the letters that Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt exchanged will inevitably come under the spell of a correspondence of extraordinary intensity." Günter Figal, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
This carefully edited volume does more than set the record straight. It puts the Heidegger-Arendt relationship in a new, and intellectually more significant, setting the philosophical friendship they developed and shared with their mutual friend the existentialist thinker Karl Jaspers. Mark Lilla, The New York Review of Books
The interest of these letters far exceeds their private drama. They throw invaluable light on the later Heidegger. George Steiner, Times Literary Supplement
