书籍简介

《讲故事的人》是Walter Benjamin重要的文章之一，是对叙事形式、社会生活和个人存在之间关系的美丽和暗示性的沉思——至少是十年工作的产物。可以称之为《讲故事的人》的故事始于1926年，本雅明写了一篇关于德国浪漫主义者约翰-彼得-赫伯尔的文章。它以一系列短文、书评、短篇小说、寓言，甚至是儿童广播节目的形式继续下去。这本集子将它们汇集在一起，让读者对本雅明的思想如何随着时间的推移而变化和成熟有了新的认识，同时还包括他自己的一些关键读物——他同时代的恩斯特-布洛赫和乔治-卢卡奇、保罗-瓦莱里以及希罗多德和蒙田的文本。后来，为了扭转局面，有三个短篇小说，作者是 "赫伯尔"，整个知识冒险就是从他开始的。

“The Storyteller” is one of Walter Benjamin’s most important essays, a beautiful and suggestive meditation on the relation between narrative form, social life, and individual existence—and the product of at least a decade’s work. What might be called the story of The Storyteller Essays starts in 1926, with a piece Benjamin wrote about the German romantic Johann Peter Hebel. It continues in a series of short essays, book reviews, short stories, parables, and even radio shows for children. This collection brings them all together to give readers a new appreciation of how Benjamin’s thinking changed and ripened over time, while including several key readings of his own—texts by his contemporaries Ernst Bloch and Georg Lukács; by Paul Valéry; and by Herodotus and Montaigne. Finally, to bring things around, there are three short stories by “the incomparable Hebel” with whom the whole intellectual adventure began.

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) was a philosopher, cultural critic, and essayist. Associated with the Frankfurt School, Benjamin influenced many of his contemporaries, including Bertolt Brecht, Gershom Scholem, and Theodor Adorno. Benjamin's best-known essays include "The Task of the Translator," "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," and "Theses on the Philosophy of History." In 1940, he committed suicide in Portbou, on the French-Spanish border, when his attempt to escape Nazi forces was thwarted.
