The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility, and Other Writings on Media(1st Edition)
by Walter Benjamin, Brigid Doherty, Michael W. Jennings, Thomas Y. Levin, Michael William Jennings, Edmund Jephcott, Rodney Livingstone, Howard Eiland
Paperback, 448 Pages, Published 2008 by Belknap Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-674-02445-8, ISBN: 0-674-02445-1

" Benjamin’s famous “Work of Art” essay sets out his boldest thoughts—on media and on culture in general—in their most realized form, while retaining an edge that gets under the skin of everyone who reads it. In this essay the visual arts of the machine age morph into literature and theory and then back again to images, gestures, and thought. This essay, however, is only the beginning of a vast collection of writings that the ed ..."






Walter Benjamin(Reprint)
A Critical Life

ISBN-13: 978-0-674-97077-9, ISBN: 0-674-97077-2

"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 ..."

This volume, the third in a four-volume set, offers twenty-seven brilliant pieces, nineteen of which have never before been translated. The centerpiece, A Berlin Childhood around 1900, marks the first appearance in English of one of the greatest German works o ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-674-02229-4, ISBN: 0-674-02229-7

" "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 ..."

One-Way Street(1st Edition)

Paperback, 144 Pages, Published 2016 by Belknap Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-674-05229-1, ISBN: 0-674-05229-3

"One-Way Street is a thoroughfare unlike anything else in literature--by turns exhilarating and bewildering, requiring mental agility and a special kind of urban literacy. Presented here in a new edition with expanded notes, this genre-defying meditation on the semiotics of late-1920s Weimar culture offers a fresh opportunity to encounter Walter Benjamin at his most virtuosic and experimental, writing in a vein that anticipates later mas ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-674-02287-4, ISBN: 0-674-02287-4

" Walter Benjamin's essays on the great French lyric poet Charles Baudelaire revolutionized not just the way we think about Baudelaire, but our understanding of modernity and modernism as well. In these essays, Benjamin challenges the image of Baudelaire as late-Romantic dreamer, and evokes instead the modern poet caught in a life-or-death struggle with the forces of the urban commodity capitalism that had emerged in Paris around 1850. ..."
