About the book: 2015 / Nothing will captivate a reader who wants to penetrate the world of this author more than several letters that cover the period from 1783 to 1883 gg. and which Benjamin selected for publication and commented on. The selection was based on a unique principle that distinguishes this particular century as the crown of the bourgeois era. The comments shed light on the time the letters were written and the people who wrote them, and Benjamin emerges as a man endowed with an extraordinary ability to judge language very accurately. The publication of each of these letters testifies to Benjamin’s persistence: he managed to publish them in 1936 in Switzerland; behind the title “People of Germany” stands a judge and at the same time a sincerely loving person who shows his troubled fatherland its reflection in the mirror, and at the same time the image of German humanism that was once inherent in this country.Benno ReifenbergThe publishing layout is saved in a4.pdf format.
