Description



About the Book



""One-Way Street" is a cornerstone of the Benjamin legacy, exhibiting the richness and multidimensional nature of his thought. Included here are his famous essays on the history of Surrealism and photography; the personal and confessional writing on cities in "Hashish in Marseille" and "Naples"; and his powerful and fragmented recollections of fin de siáecle Berlin; alongside his foundational essays on language, violence, psychology, aesthetics, and politics"--



Book Synopsis



A classic collection of Walter Benjamin's essays, including some of his most celebrated writing

Walter Benjamin is one of the most fascinating and enigmatic intellectual figures of this century. Not only was he a thinker who made an enormous impact with his critical and philosophical writings, he shattered disciplinary and stylistic conventions.

This collection, introduced by Susan Sontag, contains the most representative and illuminating selection of his work over a twenty-year period, and thus does full justice to the richness and the multi-dimensional nature of his thought. Included in these pages are aphorisms and townscapes, esoteric meditation and reminiscences of childhood, and reflections on language, psychology, aesthetics and politics.
