Begun in Poveromo, Italy, in 1932, and extensively revised in 1938, "Berlin Childhood around 1900" remained unpublished during Walter Benjamin's lifetime, one of his 'large-scale defeats'.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.

评分学生时代读过本雅明的一本小书《驼背小人——一九零零年前后柏林的童年》,是同一本书的两个版本。 彼时还没来过德国,对本雅明笔下的柏林童年有着梦幻憧憬,且全靠他文字赋予的想象。而现在再读时,已经定居德国十余年了。不禁想起之前读到过的一个句子:“人生如火柴划燃,一...
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...
评分 评分我承认,是这个名字,和这幅画打动了我。 一本泛旧的小书。 一个男孩,坐在角落里,看不分明。 一九○○年前后柏林的童年。是它本来的名字。 1932年,作者本雅明在颠沛流离中想要自杀前,写下的一本回忆录。 童年。没有故事。只有片断。时...
