Classical and quantum aspects of 4 dimensional black holes

In this talk I address some aspects in the recent developments for N = 2 black holes in 4 dimensions. I restrict myself on axion-free solutions that can classically be related to intersections of isotropic D- or M-branes. After reviewing of some classical properties I include corrections coming from a general cubic prepotential. Ori the heterotic side these are quantum corrections for these black hole solutions. Finally, I discuss a microscopic interpretation of the entropy for the extremal as well as near-extremal black hole.
