Description:

Walter Benjamin, critic, essayist, translator, philosopher one of the twentieth century’s most influential intellectuals continues to intrigue. This book acknowledges Benjamin’s thesis that personal histories can be traced only in the context of social milieus, economic forces, technological shifts, and historical events.
Walter Benjamin, critic, essayist, translator, philosopher – one of the twentieth century’s most influential intellectuals – continues to intrigue today. His work stimulates a profusion of responses in the form of new novels, operas, films and artworks, as well as a never-abating production of academic texts. In this new biography, the first to be written in over a decade, author Esther Leslie uses the recently published entirety of Benjamin’s correspondence, drawing on his numerous diaries and autobiographical works, in order to provide a careful account of his circumstances and thoughts.
Benjamin had many interests: he cherished childhood and its trappings; had a passion for the displacement and novelty of travel; toys; cities; trick-books; and ships; all are given due attention as the author weaves Benjamin’s wayward apperceptions into the narrative of a life lived. She follows Benjamin as he travels from Berlin to Capri, Ibiza, Riga, Moscow, Paris, and finally the Spanish border where he died in 1940. The author acknowledges Benjamin’s thesis that personal histories can be traced only in the context of social milieus, economic forces, technological shifts, and historical events, and seamlessly interweaves biographical details with an accessible yet concentrated account of Benjamin’s intellectual development, drawing a colourful portrait of a capacious intellect trapped in increasingly hostile circumstances.
Leslie’s meticulous attention to Benjamin’s political, intellectual, geographical and cultural journeying challenges the populist depiction of the intellectual as a tragic and lonely figure. Walter Benjamin restores its subject to his proper place as an artistic combatant and a man desirous of and relishing experience.

Description:

Praca ta ma dwa ściśle ze sobą związane cele. Po pierwsze, wbrew interpretacjom sprowadzającym myśl Benjamina do koncepcji Gershoma Scholema, Theodora Adorno czy Bertolta Brechta, próbuje dotrzeć do autora stawiającego opór takim odczytaniem. Porzucenie kanonicznych interpretacji daje nie tylko szansę na lepsze zrozumienie tej filozofii, ale przede wszystkim umożliwia odkrycie pisarza radykalnie przeformułowującego utarte sposoby myślenia o polityce i historii. Wynika z tego drugi cel. Przeczytany na nowo Benjamin staje się przewodnikiem w walce o zatrzymanie historii. Zadanie to polega na krytyce takiej historiografii, która utrzymuje bezalternatywną wizję zarówno aktualnego świata, jak i jego przeszłości. Należy zatem tworzyć inną, mniejszościową historiografię, w której ciemiężone i ciemiężeni, zamiast stanowić anonimowy element uprzednio przygotowanych konstrukcji, zyskują konkretne oblicza. Przesunięta w ten sposób perspektywa daje nie tylko lepszy ogląd przeszłości, ale przede wszystkim – odzyskując wyparte ze społecznej pamięci rewolucję i oddolne tradycje – służy odbudowaniu podmiotowości klas, które uciskane są dzisiaj.

Description:

Uzyskanie miana "najważniejszego krytyka literatury niemieckiej" to początkowy cel niemieckiego badacza żydowskiego pochodzenia, Waltera Benjamina (1892-1940). Jednak aż do chwili popełnienia samobójstwa na granicy francusko-hiszpańskiej, ostatecznego aktu ucieczki przed gestapo, jego pełna pasji wędrówka filozoficzna wiedzie przez najróżniejsze teorie, czyniąc myśl filozofa jedną z najbardziej oryginalnych pośród europejskich "nauk o kulturze" XIIX i XX wieku. Krytyk literacki, teoretyk sztuki, historyk percepcji i filozof historii, Benjamin jest fizjonomistą zbierającym detale rzeczywistości, by złożyć je w formę "obrazów myśli". Jeden z pierwszych badaczy nowoczesności, zdolny jest uchwycić potencjał kulturalny i polityczny nowych mediów, takich jak kino i montaż, rozpowszechniając ideę postępu i rzucając wyzwanie krwawej idei rosnących totalitaryzmów.

Description:

The towering figure who sought to transform America into a "Great Society" but whose ambitions and presidency collapsed in the tragedy of the Vietnam War

Few figures in American history are as compelling and complex as Lyndon Baines Johnson, who established himself as the master of the U.S. Senate in the 1950s and succeeded John F. Kennedy in the White House after Kennedy’s assassination on November 22, 1963.

Charles Peters, a keen observer of Washington politics for more than five decades, tells the story of Johnson’s presidency as the tale of an immensely talented politician driven by ambition and desire. As part of the Kennedy-Johnson administration from 1961 to 1968, Peters knew key players, including Johnson’s aides, giving him inside knowledge of the legislative wizardry that led to historic triumphs like the Voting Rights Act and the personal insecurities that led to the tragedy of Vietnam.

Peters’s experiences have given him unique insight into the poisonous rivalry between Johnson and Robert F. Kennedy, showing how their misunderstanding of each other exacerbated Johnson’s self-doubt and led him into the morass of Vietnam, which crippled his presidency and finally drove this larger-than-life man from the office that was his lifelong ambition.

Description:

Four strangers time travel to the past and find themselves stuck on the day all their lives were changed in this stunning speculative mystery, perfect for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Wrong Place Wrong Time and The Paradox Hotel.

What would you do if you could spend an hour in your past? Four strangers in the beach town of Ventura, California are about to find out.

Elizabeth aches for one more precious hour with her son who died in a senseless accident. Andy is desperate to find his first love who vanished after a whirlwind romance. Logan craves the rush of surfing and mountain climbing, yearning to reclaim the freedom he lost after a misstep landed him in a wheelchair. Brooke is looking for an hour of relief from the guilt of an unforgivable mistake.

Enter Aeon Expeditions, the groundbreaking time travel invention of Mark Saunders-which allows some lucky clients the chance to spend an hour in their past. Even though Aeon’s technology ensures time travel can’t alter the future, all four clients, including Mark’s ex-wife Elizabeth, yearn to revisit the hour that changed their lives forever.

But when their “hour” extends beyond sixty minutes, they find themselves stranded in the past. As their paths intertwine unexpectedly, they unearth shocking secrets hidden in the shadows of their shared history: All their lives were shattered the same night on a secluded highway by the beach. As they delve into the hidden truths of that pivotal hour, a startling revelation emerges. They were not alone. Someone else was present, harboring deadly intentions.

The Memory Collectors is a heart-wrenching, genre-bending novel brimming with hope, grief and second chances.
