Drawing upon a wealth of journal writings and personal correspondence, Esther Leslie presents a uniquely intimate portrait of one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century, Walter Benjamin. From the Frankfurt School and his influential friendships with Theodore Adorno, Gershom Scholem, and Bertolt Brecht, to his travels across Europe, Walter Benjamin traces out the roots of Benjamin s groundbreaking writings and their far-reaching impact in his own time. She sets his life in the context of his middle-class upbringing; explores the social, political, and economic upheaval in Germany during and after World War I; and recounts Benjamin s eccentric love of toys, trick-books, travel, and ships.
Leslie argues that Benjamin s life challenges the stereotypical narrative of the tragic and lonely intellectual figure instead positioning him as a man who relished the fierce combat
