“This book is just that: reflections of a highly polished mind that
uncannily approximate the century’s fragments of shattered
traditions.” — Time 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. Benjamin
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.
