Theodor W. Adorno: Detlev Claussen; Translated by Rodney Livingstone; This book gives us our first clear look at how the man and his moment met to create “critical theory.” An intimate picture of the quintessential twentieth-century transatlantic intellectual, the book is also a window on the cultural ferment of Adorno’s day—and its ongoing importance in our own.; Hardcover April 2008

Lamentations of Youth: Gershom Scholem; Edited and translated by Anthony David Skinner; For decades, Scholem kept these diaries locked away. They remained unread by others until the meticulously edited German edition appeared in 2002. Lamentations of Youth gives insight into a crucial stage in Scholem's life, a time of incubation and growth for his later ideas, and makes available the diaries where Scholem forged his anarchic orthodoxy and chronicled his intense relationship with Walter Benjamin.; Hardcover January 2008
