Overview

Esta obra central en el universo benjaminiano se empezó a escribir en los años treinta del pasado siglo como contrapeso al mítico (y extrañado) proyecto del Libro de los Pasajes y al ascenso de los nazis al poder. Benjamin se torna a mirar su propia infancia: el nacimiento del «apetito de historias» en un niño enfermizo. No obstante, influido por Proust (de quien fue traductor), el autor alcanza una resonancia mayor y le devuelve su libertad fundacional a la forma ensayística: capta la compleja trama de temporalidades que nos conforma, la resistencia del pasado a marcharse y su promesa de futuro. Con un acercamiento detallista y ensoñado, Benjamin observa un teléfono, un costurero o un parque en medio de la ciudad, y extrae de ellos el fundamento de la imaginación infantil, la magia de un pensar en imágenes, porque este libro es un mapa de la ciudad y un manual de instrucciones de la infancia en un momento en que ambas, ciudad y niñez, han desaparecido. Sin embargo, como siempre en Benjamin, lo extinguido adquiere una súbita modernidad. Y su mirada, entrenada en el arte de la espera, se transforma en una cartografía de los sueños contemporáneos. This central work in the Benjaminian universe began to be written in the 1930s as a counterweight to the mythical (and missed) project of the Book of Passages and the rise of the Nazis to power. Benjamin turns to look at his own childhood: the birth of the ""appetite for stories"" in a sickly child. However, influenced by Proust (of whom he was a translator), the author reaches a greater resonance and returns his foundational freedom to the essay form: he captures the complex web of temporalities that shapes us, the resistance of the past to leave and its promise of future. With a detailed and dreamy approach, Benjamin observes a telephone, a sewing shop or a park in the middle of the city, and extracts from them the foundation of children's imagination, the magic of thinking in images, because this book is a map of the city ​​and a childhood instruction manual at a time when both city and childhood have disappeared. However, as always in Benjamin, the extinct acquires a sudden modernity. And his gaze, trained in the art of waiting, is transformed into a cartography of contemporary dreams.

Author Information

El desesperado suicidio de Walter Benjamin durante su huida de los nazis, el 26 de septiembre 1940 en Portbou, se ha convertido en un símbolo que define la trágica historia del pensamiento en el convulso siglo XX. El autor alemán combinó una rarísima mezcla de erudición, imaginación interpretativa, sagacidad política y sensibilidad literaria. Su obra, afortunadamente asistemática e inagotable, condensa las reflexiones más lúcidas de nuestro tiempo sobre arte, política y literatura. Por eso, ochenta años después de su trágica muerte, su eco está más vivo que nunca. The desperate suicide of Walter Benjamin during his flight from the Nazis, on September 26, 1940 in Portbou, has become a defining symbol of the tragic history of thought in the troubled 20th century. The German author combined a rare mix of scholarship, interpretive imagination, political sagacity, and literary sensibility. His work, fortunately unsystematic and inexhaustible, condenses the most lucid reflections of our time on art, politics and literature. That is why, eighty years after his tragic death, the echo of him is more alive than ever.
