Abstract
Arendt’s works are strewn with reflections on narrativity, biography and the role of tales and stories. But there is absolutely no structured theory on these subjects. A thorough reading of her notes on these ideas reveals its importance. She is also interested on human life, seen as a life different from the biological life. Human life plays a political role: it builds a human world. That has to be well understood in order not to mix, as happed in modernity, life and politics, what has created the alienation of life and world.
