Walter Benjamin (Autor), Hannah Arendt (Editor, Autor de la introducción), Harry Zohn (Traductor), Harcourt, Brace & World (Editorial)
"Walter Benjamin was one of the most original cultural critics of the twentieth century. Illuminations includes his views on Kafka, with whom he felt a close personal affinity; his studies on Baudelaire and Proust; and his essays on Leskov and on Brecht's Epic Theater. Also included are his penetrating study 'The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction,' an enlightening discussion of translation as a literary mode, and Benjamin's theses on the philosophy of history." - Amazon.com
