Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Good. 1St Edition. "Every line we succeed in publishing today.is a victory wrested from the powers of darkness." So wrote Walter Benjamin in January 1940. Not long afterward, he himself would fall prey to those powers, a victim of suicide following a failed attempt to flee the Nazis. However insistently the idea of catastrophe hangs over Benjamin's writings in the final years of his life, the "victories wrested" in this period nonetheless constitute some of the most remarkable twentieth-century analyses of the emergence of modern society. The essays on Charles Baudelaire are the distillation of a lifetime of thinking about the nature of modernity. They record the crisis of meaning experienced by a civilization sliding into the abyss, even as they testify to Benjamin's own faith in the written word.This volume ranges from studies of Baudelaire, Brecht, and the historian Carl Jochmann to appraisals of photography, film, and poetry. At their core is the question of how art can survive and thrive in a tumultuous time. Here we see Benjamin laying out an ethic for the critic and artist--a subdued but resilient heroism. At the same time, he was setting forth a sociohistorical account of how art adapts in an age of violence and repression.Working at the height of his powers to the very end, Benjamin refined his theory of the mass media that culminated in the final version of his essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility." Also included in this volume is his influential piece "On the Concept of History," completed just before his death. The book is remarkable for its inquiry into the nature of "the modern" (especially as revealed in Baudelaire), for its ideas about the transmogrification of art and the radical discontinuities of history, and for its examples of humane life and thought in the midst of barbarism. The entire collection is eloquent testimony to the indomitable spirit of humanity under siege.

Very minor wear only; fine in white illustrated dustwrapper. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. "Why is Benjamin important? Why should we read him? Eiland and Jennings, two Harvard scholars who have translated many of his works into English (not least The Arcades Project), argue compellingly that as a critic he not only reshaped our understanding of many important writers, but he recognised the potentials and hazards of technological media that revolutionised culture during his lifetime. Others find in him a literary deconstructionist avant la lettre, a social theorist who envisioned a wholesale renovation of the human sensorium through the reform of modern media, a fire-breathing communist, a messianic Jewish mystic. Eiland and Jennings are content that readers find their own Benjamins in his work and in their book. Until now, they argue, he has been an enigma as a man if not a thinker, but here he appears in a series of guises: faithless husband, unreliable father, compulsive gambler, frequenter of prostitutes, draft dodger (he and Gershom Scholem stayed up all night drinking black coffee to simulate weak hearts and thereby fail an army medical), serial participant in love triangles (he was erotically and perversely drawn, the authors convincingly suggest, to triangles from which he couldn't get what he wanted). They chronicle his experiences with mescaline and hashish. They wonder what was in the famous black attache case that mysteriously disappeared after his suicide in 1940 - did it contain a manuscript that would, had it been found, have rocked the world? Eiland and Jennings are doubtful. All this would make for a superbly racy narrative, but Eiland and Jennings don't roll that way. Theirs is an impressive work of exegesis, but their book struggles under the weight of the detail they present. They write his life as a historical continuum - eschewing the montage techniques, the fracturing of chronology, and the gambles with form and style to which their subject was programmatically committed and temperamentally prone. 'From first to last,' the authors write of this Dostoevskian gambler, 'Benjamin took chances in the subjects he addressed and on the form and style of this writing.' They don't. For all its outstanding scholarship, and for all that their biography is as a result indispensable, there is a risk that Benjamin drifts away from these pages like the fragrance of baked apple on a winter's morning. Or, indeed, as Benjamin himself slipped away from us prematurely in 1940, his suicide representing, as Scholem put it, with pardonable exaggeration, 'the death of the European mind'." - Stuart Jeffries.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. 8vo, large br. ed. p.755. Walter Benjamin is one of the twentieth century's most important intellectuals, and also one of its most elusive. His writings?mosaics incorporating philosophy, literary criticism, Marxist analysis, and a syncretistic theology?defy simple categorization. And his mobile, often improvised existence has proven irresistible to mythologizers. His writing career moved from the brilliant esotericism of his early writings through his emergence as a central voice in Weimar culture and on to the exile years, with its pioneering studies of modern media and the rise of urban commodity capitalism in Paris. That career was played out amid some of the most catastrophic decades of modern European history: the horror of the First World War, the turbulence of the Weimar Republic, and the lengthening shadow of fascism. Now, a major new biography from two of the world's foremost Benjamin scholars reaches beyond the mosaic and the mythical to present this intriguing figure in full. Howard Eiland and Michael Jennings make available for the first time a rich store of information which augments and corrects the record of an extraordinary life. They offer a comprehensive portrait of Benjamin and his times as well as extensive commentaries on his major works, including "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility," the essays on Baudelaire, and the great study of the German Trauerspiel. Sure to become the standard reference biography of this seminal thinker, Walter Benjamin: A Critical Life will prove a source of inexhaustible interest for Benjamin scholars and novices alike.
