What might be called the story of The Storyteller Essays starts in 1926, with a piece Benjamin wrote about the German romantic Johann Peter Hebel. It continues in a series of short essays, book reviews, short stories, parables, and even radio shows for children. This collection brings them all together to give readers a new appreciation of how Benjamins thinking changed and ripened over time, while including several key readings of his own-texts by his contemporaries Ernst Bloch and Georg Lukács; by Paul Valéry; and by Herodotus and Montaigne. Finally, to bring things around, there are three short stories by the incomparable Hebel with whom the whole intellectual adventure began.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52191702745376,"sku":"NEW1681370581","price":20.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81EbxaPGR6L.jpg?v=1786838993","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-storyteller-essays-new-york-review-books-classics-1681370581","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
