The works of the great literary and cultural critic Walter Benjamin are a reservoir of texts, commentaries, scraps and fragments of everyday life, arts and dreams. This beautifully designed book gives an insight into Benjamin s habits of collecting and archiving through some of his most personal documents. From notebooks in which every conceivable space is covered with handwriting and a heartfelt traveller s series of postcards, to a sequence of Benjamin s own photographs, and lists that include a collection of his son Stefan s early words and sentences, this wonderful collection testifies to Benjamin s complex and kaleidoscopic passion for the archive.
