内容简介
Walter Benjamin was one of the most original cultural critics of the twentieth century. Illuminations includes his views on Kafka, with whom he felt a close personal affinity; his studies on Baudelaire and Proust; and his essays on Leskov and on Brecht’s Epic Theater. Also included are his penetrating study “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction,” an enlightening discussion of translation as a literary mode, and Benjamin’s theses on the philosophy of history.
Hannah Arendt selected the essays for this volume and introduces them with a classic essay about Benjamin’s life in dark times. Also included is a new preface by Leon Wieseltier that explores Benjamin’s continued relevance for our times.
作者简介
瓦尔特・本雅明(Walter Benjamin,1892-1940)犹太人。他是20世纪罕见的天才,真正的天才,是“欧洲最后一名知识分子”。本雅明的一生是一部颠沛流离的戏剧,他的卡夫卡式的细腻、敏感、脆弱不是让他安静地躲在一个固定的夜晚,而是驱使他流落整个欧洲去体验震惊;本雅明的孤独是喧哗和运动背景下的孤独,这种孤独既令人绝望,又摧发希望,本雅明的写作就永远徘徊在绝望和希望之间,大众和神学之间,这种写作因此就获得了某种暖昧的伦理学态度。暧昧正是本雅明的特性之一,他的身份,他的职业,他的主题,他的著述,他的信仰,他的空间,他的只言片语,都不是确定的,都是难以分类的。真正确定的,只有一点,那就是他的博学、才华和敏锐的辩证融会,正是这种融会,留给了20世纪一个巨大背景和一个思考空间。
