## Description

A companion volume to Illuminations , the first collection of Walter Benjamin's writings, Reflections presents a further sampling of his wide-ranging work. Here Benjamin evolves a theory of language as the medium of all creation, discusses theater and surrealism, reminisces about Berlin in the 1920s, recalls conversations with Bertolt Brecht, and provides travelogues of various cities, including Moscow under Stalin. He moves seamlessly from literary criticism to autobiography to philosophical-theological speculations, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest and most versatile writers of the twentieth century. Also included is a new preface by Leon Wieseltier that explores Benjamin's continued relevance for our times.

Review: love this collection of short subjects - Meet my friend Walter A bit in the manner of Conrad, Benjamin invites the reader to join him for a chat, and then proceeds to spin a complicit web of observations and images difficult to put down. Ideal companion for a voyage or a quiet afternoon, short sketches grow and grow, perceptive European cityscapes from the 30's (Naples, Marseille, Moskow) amuse and inform, while thoughtful reflextions return to the reader many days later. Bon voyage
Review: if this is the kind of thing you like, this is the thing you will like - Lincoln said it first: if this is the kind of thing you like, this is the thing you will like. I'm a writer who admires the great critical essayists/philosspher theorists. Benjamin is universally acknowledged to be among the very best.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ love this collection of short subjects
*by A***S on January 29, 2016*

Meet my friend Walter A bit in the manner of Conrad, Benjamin invites the reader to join him for a chat, and then proceeds to spin a complicit web of observations and images difficult to put down. Ideal companion for a voyage or a quiet afternoon, short sketches grow and grow, perceptive European cityscapes from the 30's (Naples, Marseille, Moskow) amuse and inform, while thoughtful reflextions return to the reader many days later. Bon voyage

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if this is the kind of thing you like, this is the thing you will like
*by A***S on January 14, 2015*

Lincoln said it first: if this is the kind of thing you like, this is the thing you will like. I'm a writer who admires the great critical essayists/philosspher theorists. Benjamin is universally acknowledged to be among the very best.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was is a beautiful introduction to critical theory
*by V***. on December 10, 2016*

This was is a beautiful introduction to critical theory, by a writer who's worldview was shaped by the horrors of the Holocaust. Never stops being relevant.
