...mixes apparently autobiographical fiction and social history with astute critical reworking of many of Walter Benjamin's most important ideas. As fascinating as the most experimental avant-garde mobilizations of literature during the interwar period. Stein, Breton, Pirandello and Pessoa come to mind. Says something previously unsaid about not only Walter Benjamin but post-war Austerity Britain...and does so on the basis of rigorous historical and philosophical analysis. This is a witty, smart novel that combines literary criticism with philosophy and local history...This book will delight and challenge readers and admirers of Benjamin, and it will intrigue anyone interested in intellectual and social history. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All Readers. * CHOICE * [A] clever, idiosyncratic novella ... The great value of Schad's narrative is its attempt to uncover the sort of 'revolutionary energy' in the story of a post-war North-London council estate that, for all its difficulties, managed somewhat heroically to create an environment defined above all by optimism, vitality, and buried glimpses of utopia. * Review 31 *More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
