It is a companion piece to Illuminations, a siimilar volume prepared and introduced by Arendt in the late sixties. Unlike Illuminations, which focuses on the literary essays Benjamin wrote, Reflections is intended to present a wide variety of subject and style.In his introduction, Demetz urges the reader to listen to Benjamin in a musical rather than a literary way. Indeed, this book works very well if you approach it as an impressionistic meander through the style and range of thought present in the essays. I would be hard-pressed to describe how to rationally link the autobiographic travel writing of "A Berlin Chronicle" with the aphorisms of "One Way Street" or the Marxist thought in the essays on Brecht. All the same, they feel linked as a reading experience. That linkage may be more on the sound than the subject-- the sound of a very smart man thinking very hard and with great elegance.Benjamin is never a dry writer. Some other reviewers have remarked on his humor, which definitely exists. It is also worth highlighting his keen eye for detail, his openness to self-examination, his practical advice about writing, and his distinctive turn of phrase which somehow survives through the translation process.It would be difficult to find a book that I would recommend more highly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ love this collection of short subjects *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2016* Meet my friend WalterA bit in the manner of Conrad, Benjamin invites the reader to join him for a chat, and then proceeds to spin a complicit web of observations and images difficult to put down.Ideal companion for a voyage or a quiet afternoon, short sketches grow and grow, perceptive European cityscapes from the 30's (Naples, Marseille, Moskow) amuse and inform, while thoughtful reflextions return to the reader many days later. Bon voyage ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if this is the kind of thing you like, this is the thing you will like *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2015* Lincoln said it first: if this is the kind of thing you like, this is the thing you will like. I'm a writer who admires the great critical essayists/philosspher theorists. Benjamin is universally acknowledged to be among the very best. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/3817460-reflections-essays-aphorisms-autobiographical-writings](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/3817460-reflections-essays-aphorisms-autobiographical-writings) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
