In 'Childhood in Berlin around 1900', Walter Benjamin lucidly and tenderly evokes the memories of his childhood in Berlin. Through stories that capture the essence of a city and an era, the author transports us to the parks, streets, and family homes of a Berlin that has already disappeared. This work, translated by Klaus Wagner, is an exploration of memory and a reflection on loss and the passage of time.
Walter Bendix Schönflies Benjamin was a German philosopher, cultural critic, media theorist, and essayist. An eclectic thinker who combined elements of German idealism, Jewish mysticism, Western Marxism, and post-Kantianism, he made contributions to the philosophy of history, metaphysics, historical materialism, criticism, and aesthetics, and had an oblique but overwhelmingly influential impact on the resurrection of the Kabbalah by virtue of his life-long epistolary relationship with Gershom Scholem.
