Alain Boureau Libri

The life of Ernst Kantorowicz serves as a reflection of the complexities and contradictions of the twentieth century. A Jewish scholar who fought for Germany in WWI, he later faced controversy for resisting a loyalty oath during the McCarthy era, leading to his resignation from Berkeley. After moving to Princeton, he wrote his significant work, The King's Two Bodies. In "Kantorowicz: Stories of a Historian," Alain Boureau explores Kantorowicz's enigmatic life through "parallel lives," offering insights into his character and the reasons behind his desire to erase his personal history.
