Opis

Revised and updated for the English edition, this comprehensive biography provides an account of Walter Benjamin's career, and demonstrates the fallacy of the popular, romanticized notion of his life as the sorrowful progression of a melancholic personality. The only real tragedy, the author argues, was Benjamin's suicide on the Franco-Spanish border in 1940.
