Encounters-A Benjamin Novel

“He was undoubtedly killed by the Angel of History, whom he could never satisfy. The most obvious thing that killed him was Time, who always stood watchful, often cynically, and always appeared on the scene in the end, assuming the authorship of everything that had happened before, every twitch of the eye and every start, every vibration of the eye, every line felt from the heart and every random gesture. /p>

Encounters, which begins with Walter Benjamin's escape from Paris right after Nazi Germany invaded France in 1940, follows Benjamin's passions and eccentricities and mourns his death.

Philosophy discussions, Nazi In the novel, which progresses on the axis of occupation, war and escape, and also includes names such as Bertolt Brecht, Gershom Scholem and Hannah Arendt, Benjamin's friends and family, loves and loneliness, life and suicide become flesh and blood through the manuscript pages he avoids, while his life story continues in the twentieth century. It becomes a powerful metaphor for the terrible war that ravaged the world in its midst.
