Description
Walter Benjamin: 1935-1938 is a collection of twenty-seven brilliant pieces by the radical critic and philosopher Walter Benjamin. This volume, the third in a four-volume set, offers nineteen previously untranslated works, including his famous essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility" and a book of letters from distinguished Germans between 1783 and 1883. Benjamin's writing during this period is marked by its profound insights into the relations between technology and aesthetics, as well as its exploration of the human tradition and its preservation in the face of fascism. The volume also includes extensively annotated translations of key essays on modernism and modernity, such as "The Storyteller" and "Paris, the Capital of the Nineteenth Century", as well as a fascinating diary from 1938. A narrative chronology details Benjamin's life during these four harrowing years of exile in France and Denmark. This collection is an essential resource for anyone interested in Benjamin's work, offering a unique window into his thought and writing during one of the most significant periods of his life.
