Seller's Description:
Very Good. This is a memoir of Gershom Scholem, both a portrait of his life and the story of his intellectual odyssey, from his childhood in an assimilated German-Jewish family in Berlin before the First World War to his student days in Germany, his rediscovery of Jewish mysticism, and his emigration to Jerusalem, where he embarked on a career as one of the greatest modern Hebrew scholars; includes an Introduction by Harold Bloom and photographs (pictorial cover with portrait of Scholem on the front, slight corner creases, edges slightly foxed, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
