Book Description :

Essays and reflections from one of the twentieth century's most original cultural critics, with an introduction by Hannah Arendt.

Walter Benjamin was an icon of criticism, renowned for his insight on art, literature, and philosophy. This volume includes his vie on Kafka, with whom he felt a close personal affinity; his studies on Baudelaire and Proust; and his essays on Leskov and Brecht's epic theater. Illuminations also includes his penetrating study "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," an enlightening discussion of translation as a literary mode; and his theses on the philosophy of history.

Hannah Arendt selected the essays for this volume and introduces them with a classic essay about Benjamin's life in a dark historical era. Leon Wieseltier's preface explores Benjamin's continued relevance for our times.

Walter Benjamin*(1892-1940) was a German-Jewish Marxist literary critic, essayist, translator, and philosopher. He was at times associated with the *Frankfurt School of critical theory and was also greatly inspired by the Marxism of Bertolt Brecht and Jewish mysticism as presented by Gershom Scholem.​
