Description

A new translation of philosopher Walter Benjamins work as it pertains to his famous essay, "The Storyteller," this collection includes short stories, book reviews, parables, and as a selection of writings by other authors who had an influence on Benjamins work. The Storyteller is one of Walter Benjamins most important essays, a beautiful and suggestive meditation on the relation between narrative form, social life, and individual existenceand the product of at least a decades work. What might be called the story of The Storyteller Essays starts in 1926, with a piece Benjamin wrote about the German romantic Johann Peter Hebel. It continues in a series of short essays, book reviews, short stories, parables, and even radio shows for children. This collection brings them all together to give readers a new appreciation of how Benjamins thinking changed and ripened over time, while including several key readings of his owntexts by his contemporaries Ernst Bloch and Georg Lukcs by Paul Valry and by Herodotus and Montaigne. Finally, to bring things around, there are three short stories by the incomparable Hebel with whom the whole intellectual adventure began.
