Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) is a remarkable figure even for the extraordinary diversity of twentieth-century German intellectual culture. Beginning with studies of German Romanticism, Goethe, and Baroque theater, he then turned to the search for patterns of cultural development, seeking to proceed from the concrete, tangible phenomena of human life, often quite simple and ordinary. Chaplin's comedies, children's books, tabloid newspapers, old photographs or Parisian passages - everything became an occasion for him to reflect on how culture works. His studies on literature - on Baudelaire, Kafka, Proust, Leskov - were immeasurably broader than traditional literary studies. His restless nature led Walter Benjamin to Moscow in the winter of 1926-1927, an encounter that played an important role in his destiny.
