Benjamin Hawk - Merirosvon oppipoika, E-bok
On vuosi 1692 ja Benjamin Hawk tuntee pitkästyvänsä kuoliaaksi ankaran setänsä suutarinverstaassa. Isoisän salaperäiset tarinat maailman meriltä alkavat kiehtoa Benjaminia enemmän kuin pikilangan ompelu kuluneisiin kenkiin. Portsmouthista purjehtii laiva jos toinenkin kohti seikkailuja, joissa Benjamin haluaa olla mukana. Vaikka äiti varoittaa Benjaminia, että meri vie vielä pojan kuten vei tämän isän, Benjamin karkaa merille isoisän avulla. Tuttu Willy opettaa ystävänsä laivan - joskus karskeillekin - tavoille. Matkalla Benjaminille selviää, etteivät isoisä sen paremmin kuin isäkään olleet aikoinaan ihan tavallisia kauppamiehiä.Vapaat tuulet vievät Benjaminin hurjaan seikkailuun Port Royalin vesille, jossa jokainen etsii onneaan keinoja kaihtamatta. Uusien ystäviensä avulla Benjamin ei aio jää toiseksi. Jos tahtoo rikastua, pitää katsoa ahterin sijaan kokkaa kohti!

Reflections: Essays, Aphorisms, Autobiographical Writings
'This book is just that: reflections of a highly polished mind that uncannily approximate the century's fragments of shattered traditions.' -- Time A companion volume to Illuminations, the first collection of Walter Benjamin's writings, Reflections presents a further sampling of his wide-ranging work. Here Benjamin evolves a theory of language as the medium of all creation, discusses theater and surrealism, reminisces about Berlin in the 1920s, recalls conversations with Bertolt Brecht, and provides travelogues of various cities, including Moscow under Stalin. Benjamin moves seamlessly from literary criticism to autobiography to philosophical-theological speculations, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest and most versatile writers of the twentieth century.

Understanding Brecht
The relationship between philosopher-critic Walter Benjamin and playwright-poet Bertolt Brecht was both a lasting friendship and a powerful intellectual partnership. Having met in the late 1920s in Germany, Benjamin and Brecht both independently minded Marxists with a deep understanding of and passionate commitment to the emancipatory potential of cultural practices continued to discuss, argue and correspond on topics as varied as Fascism and the work of Franz Kafka. Faced by the onset of the 'midnight of the century', with the Nazi subversion of the Weimar Republic in Germany and the Stalinist degeneration of the revolution in Russia, both men, in their own way, strove to keep alive the tradition of dialectical critique of the existing order and radical intervention in the world to transform it. In Understanding Brecht we find collected together Benjamin's most sensitive and probing writing on the dramatic and poetic work of his friend and tutor. Stimulated by Brecht's oeuvre and

Walter Benjamin's Antifascist Education
A comprehensive study of education in the writings of Walter Benjamin. Walter Benjamin's Antifascist Education is the first comprehensive analysis of educational themes across the entirety of the critical theorist's diverse writings. Starting with Benjamin's early reflections on teaching and learning, Tyson E. Lewis argues that the aesthetic and cultural forms to which Benjamin so often turned-namely, radio broadcasts, children's theatrical productions, collections, cityscapes, public cinemas, and word games-swell with educational potentialities. What emerges from Lewis's reading is a constellational curriculum composed of minor practices such as poor teaching, absentminded learning, and nondurational studying. This curriculum carries political significance, offering an antidote to past and present forms of fascist manipulation, hardness, and coldness. Walter Benjamin's Antifascist Education is a testimony to Benjamin's belief that 'everyone is an educator and everyone needs to be
