Walter Benjamin

Walter Benjamin was perhaps the twentieth century's most elusive intellectual. His writings defy categorization, and his improvised existence has proven irresistible to mythologizers. In a major new biography, Howard Eiland and Michael Jennings present a comprehensive portrait of the man and his times, as well as extensive commentary on his work.

Walter Benjamin a fost probabil cel mai evaziv intelectual al secolului al XX-lea. Scrierile sale sfideaza orice clasificare, iar existenta sa improvizata s-a dovedit irezistibila pentru mitologizatori.
