Krátky popis
An elegant new translation of Benjamin's moving evocation of the
experiences of his urban childhoodComposed in exile in the 1930s
and published as a whole only after his death, the miniatures that
make up Benjamin's Berlin Childhood are crystallized images of
childhood experienced in a city later surrendered to fascism. No
ordinary autobiography, the book is a Proustian experiment in
memory and a meditative tour of the iconic spaces of a city
irretrievably lost to the adult. Instead of details of family and
friends, these miniatures evoke the sensory richness of childhood
in images of the squares and courtyards, the parks and monuments of
Berlin, the child's schoolbooks and the gloomy flats of elderly
relatives.As Benjamin's friend Theodor Adorno writes in his
afterword, 'the images the book brings up into a disturbing
proximity are not idyllic and not contemplative. The shadow of
Hitler's Reich falls across them. Dreamlike, they unite that horror
with something that has long existed.'This new translation includes
an introduction by Antonia Hofstätter, highlighting the way this
nearly century-old work resonates with contemporary readers and
inspires hope by providing access to strata of experience not
governed by instrumentality and domination.
