Begun in Poveromo, Italy, in 1932, and extensively revised in 1938, "Berlin Childhood around 1900" remained unpublished during Walter Benjamin's lifetime, one of his 'large-scale defeats'. Now translated into English for the first time in book form, on the basis of the recently discovered 'final version' that contains the author's own arrangement of a suite of luminous vignettes, it can be more widely appreciated as one of the masterpieces of 20th Century prose writing. Not an autobiography in the customary sense, Benjamin's recollection of his childhood in an upper-middle-class Jewish home in Berlin's West End at the turn of the century becomes an occasion for unified 'expeditions into the depths of memory'. In this diagram of his life, Benjamin focuses not on persons or events but on places and things, all seen from the perspective of a child - a collector, flaneur, and allegorist in one. This book is also one of Benjamin's great city texts, bringing to life the cocoon of his childhood - the parks, streets, schoolrooms, and interiors of an emerging metropolis. It reads the city as palimpsest and labyrinth, revealing unexpected lyricism in the heart of the familiar. As an added gem, a preface by Howard Eiland discusses the genesis and structure of the work, which marks the culmination of Benjamin's attempt to do philosophy concretely.
瓦尔特・本雅明
瓦尔特・本雅明(Walter Benjamin,1892-1940)
德国现代卓有影响的思想家和文体家,其重要作品,如《发达资本主义时代的抒情诗人》、《单向街》等均为中国作家、人文学者所重视。
这本书不是童话,和小时候读过的豪夫童话不一样,那本童话里有小矮人穆克的故事,他穿着小飞鞋飞来飞去,还戏弄了国王。我想,喜爱读书的本雅明一定知道这个故事。驼背小人没有穆克那样的神通,他是我们小时候幻想中的对话者的化身,通常躲在门后或藏在某个不为人知的角落...

评分在中国的知识分子中,本雅明是一个很重要的名字。 我一直记得上个世纪九十年代初三联出版社刚刚出版《发达资本主义时代的抒情诗人》时,周围的一些朋友热烈阅读和讨论的盛况。可以说,《发达资本主义时代的抒情诗人》、《单向街》和《机械复制时代的艺术》这些美妙的著作,在知...
评分本雅明的《驼背小人》一书,是我在医院人头攒动的候诊大厅座椅上读完的,候诊大厅里的喧嚣并没有影响我的阅读,倒是那里白色的裙裾、摇曳的人影、鼎沸的人声,给我的阅读制造了一种梦幻的背景,我就坐在这样一个如梦似幻的背景里,闯进本雅明的一九零零年前后柏林的童年。 ...
评分在遥远的过去将时光收束于曾在童年穿过他身体的城市,是一件极其迷人的事情。本雅明的这种举动对于我的意义在于,在他快节奏的脚步中,我将有可能依附于那些街道、电话机、西洋景、内阳台、动物花园、水獭、双簧管或者驼背小人,也穿过自身记忆的红色火焰获得某些越来越远的温...
A melancholy love story to the old, west Berlin.

评分非常神奇的極富深意的回憶本雅明在柏林讀過的童年的短片小札集子。很乃咀嚼,被老師放在和奧爾巴赫Mimesis同一周的閱讀之中,仍未得其解。
