Walter Benjamin - Berlin Childhood around 1900

Presents the author's recollection of his childhood in an upper-middle-class Jewish home in Berlin's West End. This book focuses not on persons or events but on places and things, all seen from the perspective of a child, a collector, flaneur, and allegorist in one. It tells about the parks, streets, schoolrooms, and interiors of the metropolis.

Afterword by Theodor Adorno
