### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An essential book for all readers, students of Benjamin!
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in Canada on 26 March 2022*

As is freely admitted by Eiland & Jennings, Walter Benjamin is not the easiest of reads. This biography, securely anchored in Benjamin's writings, shines a bright, illuminating light on some of WB's most difficult works. Situating the texts in his specific life circumstances and in relation to his many illustrious interlocutors, these 2 Benjamin scholars have written one of the finest intellectual biographies of the postmodern period.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    dense, informative, a  little sad
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on 16 March 2022*

This is a thick book that delves into the life and above all the writings of Walter Benjamin over more than 600 pages. The authors do an excellent job recreating the intellectual growth of this great thinker while including the details of a complex and ultimately deeply sad life. I'm not sure if I yet understand Benjamin as a person  but I appreciate this illuminating, measured look into his life and tragic times.

    Walter Benjamin : A Critical Life
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in Germany on 16 August 2019*

One of the truely most fascinating figures of the 20th century. And influential Critical Thinker who had virtualy gone unnotice during his own life time. Not unliked so many of the great intellectual artisans  throughout history whose affect has been much later discuss and felt. His contribution to notion of Modernity, Technological Advancement and Art is so precient that its applicability even some 80 years later is very much relevant in this most chaotic of times. This is a Tribute not to just an extraodinary person but to a complex individual who refuse to be limited by the constraints of the societal norms of his constellation. I must and will take a much greater indebt view of his works.
