Walter Benjamin: “Berlin Chronicle” Notices by Carl Skoggard
|
Published by Publication Studio (2015) This book of new research and commentary by Carl Skoggard brings another volume of Walter Benjamin’s work into a superb new translation. Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) began to ruminate on his Berlin childhood not long before he fled Germany for good, in 1933. The resulting “Berlin Chronicle” notices - forty in all - explore the ways of memory in relation to place - in light of Benjamin’s own memories and in relation to his native place. Rich in themselves, these “Chronicle” notices provide a unique key to the esoteric texts Benjamin would produce for his much-loved Berlin Childhood circa 1900. £18.50
