Germany in the mid 1920s, a place and time of looming turmoil,
brought together Walter Benjamin-acclaimed critic and extraordinary
literary theorist-and Bertolt Brecht, one of the twentieth
century's most influential playwrights. It was a friendship that
would shape their writing for the rest of their lives. In this
groundbreaking work, Erdmut Wizisla explores what this relationship
meant for them personally and professionally, as well as the effect
it had on those around them. From the first meeting between
Benjamin and Brecht to their experiences in exile, these eventful
lives are illuminated by personal correspondence, journal entries
and private miscellany-including previously unpublished
materials-detailing the friends' electric discussions of their
collaboration. Wizisla delves into the archives of other luminaries
in the distinguished constellation of writers and artists in Weimar
Germany, which included Margarete Steffin, Theodor Adorno, Ernst
Bloch and Hannah Arendt. Wizisla's account of this friendship opens
a window on nearly two decades of European intellectual life.
