About

Gershom Scholem was a teenager when he and Walter Benjamin became close friends. Here he illuminates their common engagement with the Kabbalah and sharp disagreement over Marxism, while registering his undying sorrow at Benjamin's refusal to emigrate to Palestine and his suicide in 1940. This remarkable memoir is both a portrait of two searching thinkers and a moving exploration of the meaning of friendship.
