Synopsis
The works of the great literary and cultural critic Walter Benjamin are a reservoir of texts, commentaries, scraps and fragments of everyday life, arts and dreams. This beautifully designed book gives an insight into Benjamin s habits of collecting and archiving through some of his most personal documents. From notebooks in which every conceivable space is covered with handwriting and a heartfelt traveller s series of postcards, to a sequence of Benjamin s own photographs, and lists that include a collection of his son Stefan s early words and sentences, this wonderful collection testifies to Benjamin s complex and kaleidoscopic passion for the archive.

Walter Benjamins The Archive book by Walter Benjamin Literary Studies
Seller: West Cove UK, Wellington, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Book in excellent unread/unused condition. See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> The work of the great literary and cultural critic Walter Benjamin is an audacious plotting of history, art and thought; a reservoir of texts, commentaries, scraps and fragments of everyday life, art and dreams. It comprises myriad smaller archives, in which Benjamin gathered together all kinds of artefacts, assortments of images, texts and signs, themselves representing experiences, ideas and hopes, each of which was enthusiastically logged, systematized and analyzed by their author. In them, Benjamin laid the groundwork for the salvaging of his own legacy. This unique book, produced in association with the Benjamin Archive, delves into these archives. They include carefully laid-out manuscripts; photographs of a home with luxurious furniture, arcades, Russian toys; picture postcards from Tuscany and the Balearics; meticulous and unconventional registers, card indexes and catalogs; notebooks, in which every single square centimeter is covered; a collation of his son's first words and sentences, riddles and enigmatic Sibyls. Everything here is subtl. Seller Inventory # Batch-FM350-LN-8429
