Berlin Childhood Around 1900 by Walter Benjamin

2.0

Read simply because I had to teach it. A fractured memorial of his Berlin childhood written during the rise of the Nazi’s as it became clear he’d eventually had to leave his home town for good. Historically it’s a useful text representing the day to day life of a middle class child at the time. Read on its own it doesn’t offer up much to the reader.
