Sparking a flurry of heated debate, Hannah Arendt's authoritative and stunning report on the trial of German Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann first appeared as a series of articles in The New Yorker in 1963. This revised edition includes material that came to light after the trial, as well as Arendt's postscript directly addressing the controversy that arose over her account. A major journalistic triumph by an intellectual of singular influence, Eichmann in Jerusalem is as shocking as it is informative--an unflinching look at one of the most unsettling (and unsettled) issues of the twentieth century.

Publication Date: 17/12/2019
El gran estudio sobre el Holocausto, un ensayo de lectura imprescindible e inolvidable. A partir del juicio que en 1961 se llev a cabo contra Adolf Eichmann, teniente coronel de la SS y uno de los mayores criminales de la historia, Hannah Arendt estudia en este ensayo las causas que propiciaron el Holocausto y el papel equ voco que desempe aron en tal genocidio los consejos jud os -cuesti n que, en su poca, fue motivo de una airada controversia-, as como la naturaleza y la funci n de la justicia, aspecto que la lleva a plantear la necesidad de instituir un tribunal internacional capaz de juzgar cr menes contra la humanidad. Poco a poco, la mirada l cida y penetrante de Arendt va desentra ando la personalidad del acusado, analiza su contexto social y pol tico y su rigor intachable a la hora de organizar la deportaci n y el exterminio de las comunidades jud as. Al mismo tiempo, la fil sofa alemana estudia la colaboraci n o la resistencia en la aplicaci n de la Soluci n Final por parte de algunas naciones ocupadas y expone problemas cuya trascendencia sigue determinando la escena pol tica de nuestros d as. M s de cincuenta a os despu s de su publicaci n, Eichmann en Jerusal n sigue siendo uno de los mejores estudios sobre el Holocausto, un ensayo de lectura inaplazable para entender lo que sin duda fue la gran tragedia del siglo XX.
