Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
Walter Benjamin is one of the most outstanding and at the same time mysterious intellectuals of the twentieth century. His work - a mosaic, including philosophy, literary criticism, Marxist analysis and syncretic theology - do not fit into simple categories. His writer"s career developed from brilliant esotericism of early works through turning into the main voice of Weimar culture to life in exile, when innovative studies of modern media and the emergence of urban commodity capitalism in Paris appeared. This career developed in the most catastrophic decades of modern European history: the horrors of the First World War, the confusion of the Weimar Republic and many years of fascism. The biography, written by two leading researchers of Benyamin"s work, goes beyond the mosaic and mythical, representing this mysterious person in its entirety.
