The book is composed of Gadamer’s book entitled Wer bin ich und wer bist Du, Ein Kommentar zu Paul Celans Gedichtfolge ‘Atemkristall’, translated into Portuguese by R. Abi-Samara, a letter from Hans-Georg Gadamer to his translator R. Abi-Samara, and of an article written by Abi-Sâmara entitled “Hans-Georg Gadamer: leitor de Paul Celan. Apresentação de Raquel Abi-Sâmara” (Hans-Georg Gadamer: A reader of Paul Celan. A Presentation by Raquel Abi-Sâmara”). The article performs as an introduction to the book Wer bin Ich und wer bist Du, and it is a summary of Abi-Sâmara doctoral thesis, defended at UERJ (University of the State of Rio de Janeiro) in 2004. The translator chose not to publish the entire thesis because she would like to reach a broader readership than only the academic community. This book had a great repercussion in the Brazilian midia and academic environment, with several reviews written by reputed intellectuals in Brazil (like Luiz Costa Lima, Gustavo Bernardo Krause etc) in the principal newspapers like Estado de São Paulo, Folha de São Paulo, Jornal do Brasil. The book was recommended by the literary newspaper “Caderno MAIS” (Folha de São Paulo, 15 May 2005) between the “10+” (Os dez +/ The 10 Plus), a selection of 10 books and cultural events indicated by “Caderno Mais+”. . https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/mais/fs1505200501.htm
