A Life in Letters, 1914–1982 - Gershom Scholem - Bog

Perhaps the greatest scholar of Jewish mysticism in the twentieth century, 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.
