Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt met in 1925 at the University of Marburg. He was a teacher and she was his student. He was married and she was single. She was eighteen years old and he was thirty-five. This is how Love Without a World begins, Miquel Esteve's extraordinary novel about this relationship that they maintained until the end of their lives despite all the obstacles. Love Without a World narrates in a fast-paced manner, and at the same time with extreme delicacy, the tumultuous idyll between two of the great figures of European philosophy and thought. How can an intellectual and sensitive Jew and a highly prestigious professor who was a member of Hitler's party love each other? Always torn by an anguishing tension, the relationship between Arendt and Heidegger evolves stormily and becomes an example of spiritual and philosophical love that goes beyond the mundane: love without a world.
