Rahel Varnhagen: The Life of a Jewish Woman was Hannah Arendt's first book largely completed when she went into exile from Germany in 1933 though it would not be published until the 1950s. It is the biography of a remarkable complicated troubled passionate woman an important figure in German romanticism the person who in a sense founded the Goethe cult that would become central to German cutural life in the nineteenth century as well as someone who confronted and bore the burden of being both a woman in a man's world and an assimilated Jew in Germany with unusual determination. Rahel Levin Varnhagen was Hannah Arendt writes neither beautiful nor attractive... and possessed no talents with which to employ her extraordinary intelligence and passionate originality. Arendt sets out to tell the story of Rahel's life as Rahel might have told it and in doing so to reveal the way in which intellectual and social assimilation works out in one person's destiny. On her deathbed Rahel is reported to have said The thing which all my life seemed to me the greatest shame which was the misery and misfortune of my life--having been born a Jewess--this I should on no account now wish to have missed. Only because she had remained both a Jew and a pariah Hannah Arendt observes did she find a place in the history of European humanity.--
