Story
Considered by many to be Hannah Arendt's greatest work, published as she neared the end of her life, The Life of the Mind investigates thought itself, as it exists in contemplative life. In a shift from her previous writings, most of which focus on the world outside the mind, this work was planned as three volumes that would explore the activities of the mind considered by Arendt to be fundamental. What emerged is a rich, challenging analysis of human mental activity, considered in terms of thinking, willing, and judging.

Believe the reviewers about terrible reader
Reviewed: 06-04-22
The narrator's non English pronunciation is so terrible as to be distracting. It is unbelievable that this performer was chosen to read Hannah Arendt, who is known for so many non English quotes and texts in her writing.

Story
The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fable that range from antebellum New York to the late 20th-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. An air force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan. An artist inherits 100 years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies, and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light.

DO NOT BUY THE AUDIBLE BOOK
Reviewed: 06-05-21
The novel is wonderful but the reading is well below sub-par. I had to buy the actual book to really get the true worth of this excellent novel by Richard Powers. The book is a good as the many positive reviews it received. I regret buying the Audible version, though.
