Walter Benjamin - philosopher, essayist, literary and cultural
theorist - was one of the most original writers and thinkers of the
twentieth century. This new selection brings together Benjamin's
major works, including 'One-Way Street', his dreamlike, aphoristic
observations of urban life in Weimar Germany; 'Unpacking My
Library', a delightful meditation on book-collecting; the
confessional 'Hashish in Marseille'; and 'The Work of Art in the
Age of Mechanical Reproduction', his seminal essay on how
technology changes the way we appreciate art. Also including
writings on subjects ranging from Proust to Kafka, violence to
surrealism, this is the essential volume on one of the most
prescient critical voices of the modern age. Contains: 'Unpacking
My Library'; 'One-Way Street'; 'The Work of Art in the Age of
Mechanical Reproduction'; 'Brief History of Photography'; 'Hashish
in Marseille'; 'On the Critique of Violence'; 'The Job of the
Translator'; 'Surrealism'; 'Franz Kafka' and 'Picturing Proust'.
