Gershom Scholem (1897–1982) föddes in i en tysk-judisk familj. Han blev inte bara en av de främsta forskarna inom judaistik utan grundade också den moderna forskningen kring den judiska mystiken och dess källor. Han blev som ung övertygad sionist och emigrerade till Palestina. Tidigare har förlaget givit ut hans Från Berlin till Jerusalem som beskriver hans uppväxt, ungdom och intellektuella mognadsprocess.

Walter Benjamin : historien om en vänskap

AvGershom Scholem

Häftad, Svenska, 2023

(1)

272 kr

Skickas

Gershom Scholem var en brådmogen tonåring när han 1915 träffade Walter Benjamin, som blev hans nära vän och intellektuella mentor. Walter Benjamin - historien om en vänskap är Scholems ömsinta, men på intet sätt sentimentala, redogörelse för deras livslånga och komplexa vänskap.

Boken är såväl en hyllning av hans väns egensinniga geni som en klagosång över de destruktiva inre och yttre krafter som kulminerade i Benjamins självmord 1940 på flykt undan fascisterna. Det är svårt att inte drabbas av den omsorg och intelligens med vilka de båda vännerna öppnar sig för och befruktar varandras tänkande. Marxism och metafysik, Europa och Palestina, krigshets och pacifism - allt avhandlas i ett sällsamt hängivet dialogiskt utbyte.

Scholems livfulla minnesbok, publicerad 1975, utgör än idag en oöverträffad introduktion till Walter Benjamin. På en och samma gång översiktlig, initierad och personlig i sina reflexioner över Benjamins liv och skrifter är den ett ovärderligt dokument om en av 1900-talets mest inflytelserika tänkare.

Här presenteras Walter Benjamin - historien om en vänskap för första gången på svenska, i översättning av Christian Nilsson och med en inledning av Gustav Sjöberg.

"Det är inte bara ett djupt känt dokument utan också en visserligen mycket personlig men ändå ganska heltäckande beskrivning av Benjamins mångfacetterade författarskap. Boken kom ut för snart ett halvsekel sedan och ger en helt oersättlig bild av människan bakom texten." - Carl Rudbeck, Axess

"Boken är en unik biografisk skildring där Scholems livfulla blick modereras av den äldre mannens vetskap. Ingen annan har kunnat skriva denna bok.Att den nu finns på svenska är därför en stor sak. Kännaren Christian Nilssons översättning är njutbart ledig både balanserad och destillerad vilket ger en fin värme åt framställningen som med tanke på tidsavståndet av trettiofem år är förunderligt detaljerad." - Mikael van Reis, Göteborgs-Posten

"Walter Benjamin är en bok om ett gripande människoöde i en mörk tid, ett spännande intellektuellt äventyr men framför allt ett ömsint porträtt av en god vän." - David Björklund, BTJ

"För den som hyser minsta intresse för judisk-europeisk historia, filosofi och teologi är den oumbärlig." - Nydahls Occident

Called "the most important critic of his time" by Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin has only become more influential over the years, as his work has assumed a crucial place in current debates over the interactions of art, culture, and meaning. A "natural and extraordinary talent for letter writing was one of the most captivating facets of his nature," writes Gershom Scholem in his foreword to this volume; and Benjamin's correspondence reveals the evolution of some of his most powerful ideas, while also offering an intimate picture of Benjamin himself and the times in which he lived. Writing at length to Scholem and Theodor Adorno, and exchanging letters with Rainer Maria Rilke, Hannah Arendt, Max Brod, and Bertolt Brecht, Benjamin elaborates on his ideas about metaphor and language. He reflects on literary figures from Kafka to Karl Kraus, and expounds his personal attitudes toward such subjects as Marxism and French national character. Providing an indispensable tool for any scholar wrestling with Benjamin's work, "The Correspondence of Walter Benjamin" is a revelatory look at the man behind much of the twentieth century's most significant criticism.

Few people thought as deeply or incisively about Germany, Jewish identity, and the Holocaust as Hannah Arendt and Gershom Scholem. And, as this landmark volume reveals, much of that thinking was developed in dialogue, through more than two decades of correspondence. Arendt and Scholem met in 1932 in Berlin and quickly bonded over their mutual admiration for and friendship with Walter Benjamin. They began exchanging letters in 1939, and their lively correspondence continued until 1963, when Scholem's vehement disagreement with Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem led to a rupture that would last until Arendt's death a dozen years later. The years of their friendship, however, yielded a remarkably rich bounty of letters: together, they try to come to terms with being both German and Jewish, the place and legacy of Germany before and after the Holocaust, the question of what it means to be Jewish in a post-Holocaust world, and more. Walter Benjamin is a constant presence, as his life and tragic death are emblematic of the very questions that preoccupied the pair.Like any collection of letters, however, the book also has its share of lighter moments: accounts of travels, gossipy dinner parties, and the quotidian details that make up life even in the shadow of war and loss. In a world that continues to struggle with questions of nationalism, identity, and difference, Arendt and Scholem remain crucial thinkers. This volume offers us a way to see them, and the development of their thought, anew.

Gershom Scholem was the master builder of historical studies of the Kabbalah. When he began to work on this neglected field, the few who studied these texts were either amateurs who were looking for occult wisdom, or old-style Kabbalists who were seeking guidance on their spiritual journeys. His work broke with the outlook of the scholars of the previous century in Judaica—die Wissenschaft des Judentums, the Science of Judaism—whose orientation he rejected, calling their “disregard for the most vital aspects of the Jewish people as a collective entity: a form of “censorship of the Jewish past.” The major founders of modern Jewish historical studies in the nineteenth century, Leopold Zunz and Abraham Geiger, had ignored the Kabbalah; it did not fit into their account of the Jewish religion as rational and worthy of respect by “enlightened” minds. The only exception was the historian Heinrich Graetz. He had paid substantial attention to its texts and to their most explosive exponent, the false Messiah Sabbatai Zevi, but Graetz had depicted the Kabbalah and all that flowed from it as an unworthy revolt from the underground of Jewish life against its reasonable, law-abiding, and learned mainstream. Scholem conducted a continuing polemic with Zunz, Geiger, and Graetz by bringing into view a Jewish past more varied, more vital, and more interesting than any idealized portrait could reveal.—from the Foreword by Arthur Hertzberg, 1995

Perhaps the greatest scholar of Jewish mysticism in the twentieth century, Gershom Scholem (1897–1982) once said of himself, “I have no biography, only a bibliography.” Yet, in thousands of letters written over his lifetime, his biography does unfold, inscribing a life that epitomized the intellectual ferment and political drama of an era. This selection of the best and most representative letters—drawn from the 3000 page German edition—gives readers an intimate view of this remarkable man, from his troubled family life in Germany to his emergence as one of the leading lights of Israel during its founding and formative years.In the letters, we witness the travails and vicissitudes of the Scholem family, a drama in which Gershom is banished by his father for his anti-kaiser Zionist sentiments; his antiwar, socialist brother is hounded and murdered; and his mother and remaining brothers are forced to emigrate. We see Scholem’s friendships with some of the most intriguing intellectuals of the twentieth century—such as Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor Adorno—blossom and, on occasion, wither. And we learn firsthand about his Zionist commitment and his scholarly career, from his move to Palestine in the 1920s to his work as Professor of Jewish Mysticism at the Hebrew University. Over the course of seven decades that comprised the most significant events of the twentieth century, these letters reveal how Scholem’s scholarship is informed by the experiences he so eloquently described.

The legendary correspondence between the critic Walter Benjamin and the historian Gershom Scholem bears indispensable witness to the inner lives of two remarkable and enigmatic personalities. Benjamin, acknowledged today as on of the leading literary and social critics of his day, was known during his lifetime by only a small circle of friends and intellectual confreres. Scholem recognized the genius of his friend and mentor during their student days in Berlin, and the two began to correspond after Scholem’s emigration to Palestine. Their impassioned exchange draws the reader into the very heart of their complex relationship during the anguished years from 1932 until Benjamin’s death in 1940.

Gershom Scholem stands out among modern thinkers for the richness and power of his historical imagination. A work widely esteemed as his magnum opus, Sabbatai ?evi offers a vividly detailed account of the only messianic movement ever to engulf the entire Jewish world. Sabbatai ?evi was an obscure kabbalist rabbi of seventeenth-century Turkey who aroused a fervent following that spread over the Jewish world after he declared himself to be the Messiah. The movement suffered a severe blow when ?evi was forced to convert to Islam, but a clandestine sect survived. A monumental and revisionary work of Jewish historiography, Sabbatai ?evi details ?evi's rise to prominence and stands out for its combination of philological and empirical authority and passion. This edition contains a new introduction by Yaacob Dweck that explains the scholarly importance of Scholem's work to a new generation of readers.

With the publication of The Origins of the Kabbalah in 1950, one of the most important scholars of our century brought the obscure world of Jewish mysticism to a wider audience for the first time. A crucial work in the oeuvre of Gershom Scholem, this book details the beginnings of the Kabbalah in twelfth- and thirteenth-century southern France and Spain, showing its rich tradition of repeated attempts to achieve and portray direct experiences of God. The Origins of the Kabbalah is a contribution not only to the history of Jewish medieval mysticism, but also to the study of medieval mysticism in general. Now with a new foreword by David Biale, this book remains essential reading for students of the history of religion.

As Messianism Turns to Heresy

Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

Kommande

This volume presents the transcripts, based on a rare set of voice recordings, of a series of lectures delivered by Scholem in the Spring of 1966 while serving as Visiting Professor and Joseph and Helen Regenstein Chair at Hebrew Union College-Institute of Jewish Religion in Cincinnati. Scholem's course would have been one among very few such classes on American soil, where Kabbalah had yet to become established as a central concern of Jewish Studies. As transcripts of classroom discussions, these lectures give a sense of Scholem's complex personality as a teacher. He was a scintillating speaker and an academic aristocrat; he was often jovial, sardonic--but also, and more than occasionally, something of an intellectual bully. These transcripts offer a full picture of Scholem's charisma and power as a lecturer and are a living testament to Scholem's deep engagement, even enrapturement, with the messianic impulse at the heart of Judaism and his quest to impart that love to his students. They are a fascinating portrait of his captivating presentation style, the dramatic power of his unfolding of narrative and historical drama, his attention to detail but also his interest in the realm of grand ideas. They represent a light from the archive, the intellectual fruits of a towering scholar who, over the course of nearly six decades, shaped three generations of researchers and whose writings remain a cornerstone of Jewish Studies.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

At first glance, Theodor W. Adorno’s critical social theory and Gershom Scholem’s scholarship of Jewish mysticism could not seem farther removed from one another. To begin with, they also harbored a mutual hostility. But their first conversations in 1938 New York were the impetus for a profound intellectual friendship that lasted thirty years and produced more than 220 letters. These letters discuss the broadest range of topics in philosophy, religion, history, politics, literature, and the arts – as well as the life and the work of Adorno and Scholem’s mutual friend Walter Benjamin.Unfolding with the dramatic tension of a historic novel, the correspondence tells the story of these two intellectuals who faced tragedy, destruction, and loss, but also participated in the efforts to reestablish a just and dignified society after World War II. Scholem immigrated to Palestine before the war and developed his pioneering scholarship of Jewish mysticism before and during the problematic establishment of a Jewish state. Adorno escaped Germany to England, and then to America, returning to Germany in 1949 to participate in the efforts to rebuild and democratize German society. Despite the differences in the lifepaths and worldviews of Adorno and Scholem, their letters are evidence of mutual concern for intellectual truth and hope for a more just society in the wake of historical disaster.The letters reveal for the first time the close philosophical proximity between Adorno’s critical theory and Scholem’s scholarship of mysticism and messianism. Their correspondence touches on questions of reason and myth, progress and regression, heresy and authority, and the social dimensions of redemption. Above all, their dialogue sheds light on the power of critical, materialistic analysis of history to bring about social change and prevent repetition of the disasters of the past.

Les textes traduits ici proviennent tous des Journaux et Notes de jeunesse de Gershom Scholem. Ils ont été écrits entre 1917 et 1919. Réformé pour raisons "psychiatriques", Scholem rend souvent visite à Benjamin à Berne, et, à son contact, cherche à développer une conception du langage, et, notamment, du langage biblique, à l’occasion des traductions qu’il fait de certains cantiques de lamentation. On trouve ainsi un écho direct de ses discussions avec Benjamin, sur la "justice divine" comme sur la notion d’"expérience vécue" dont Buber est, du côté juif, avec Rosenzweig, le principal représentant. À cette "expérience", Scholem veut opposer la position qu’il adoptera définitivement, celle du philologue-historien. Dans cette perspective, il esquisse une conception du temps où le prophétisme et le messianisme jouent un rôle de premier plan, ce que montre son commentaire du prophète Jonas.Bien qu’il s’agisse de textes de jeunesse – Scholem est né en 1897, il a donc tout juste vingt ans –, ils donnent une vue exacte du programme qu’il se fixe et qu’il réalisera sans jamais dévier, ainsi que de l’atmosphère qui régnait au sein du judaïsme allemand au début du siècle dernier.

Adolescent, Scholem redécouvre ses racines, apprend la langue hébraïque, étudie le Talmud, les mathématiques et la philosophie, fréquente Martin Buber et les milieux Ostjuden, fait la rencontre déterminante de Walter Benjamin et réfléchit sur le sionisme. Écrit dans une langue fiévreuse, particulièrement dense et foisonnante, son journal de jeunesse évoque tour à tour son opposition à la guerre et à l’idéologie de l’assimilation, l’anarchisme, ses relations orageuses avec son père, la figure de son frère Werner, socialiste, ses séjours à Munich, Heidelberg, Iéna et Berne, les prémices de son intérêt pour la mystique juive et de sa vocation d’historien…
