THE ARCADES PROJECT - Rare Fine Copy of The First Hardcover Edition/First Printing - ONLY COPY OF THE TRUE FIRST ONLINE
Language: English
Published by Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1999, 1999
ISBN 10: 067404326X ISBN 13: 9780674043268
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1073 pages. Published in 1999. The author's unfinished master project. One of the greatest books of the 20th century. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only and as part of Harvard University's Complete Works of Walter Benjamin. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Walter Benjamin's "Das Passagen-Werk" in a felicitous English translation. The definitive critical study of the 19th century, "the greatest modern effort at historical comprehension", and at 1073 pages, still an unfinished masterwork. "Conceived in Paris in 1927 and still in progress when Benjamin fled the Occupation in 1940, 'The Arcades Project' is a monumental ruin, meticulously constructed over the course of thirteen years: 'the theater of all my struggles and all my ideas'. Focussing on the arcades of nineteenth-century Paris - glass-roofed rows of shops that were early centers of consumerism - Benjamin presents a montage of quotations from, and reflections on, hundreds of published sources, arranging them in thirty-six categories with descriptive rubrics such as Fashion, Boredom, Dream City, Photography, Catacombs, Advertising, Prostitution, Baudelaire, and Theory of Progress" (Publisher's blurb). The genius - and achievement - of the book lies in Benjamin's prescient identification of the Paris Arcades (thereby superseding Baudelaire) as THE microcosm of our modern, contemporary life. That is to say, the life we are living today, both "micro", and through the so-called global economy, "macro". About his extreme, ambitious project, this is what the author himself had to say: "To great writers, finished works weigh lighter than those fragments on which they labor their entire lives" (Walter Benjamin). Walter Benjamin's personal heroism wasn't just some egotistical idea he had about himself. He lived and then died as a hero: He committed suicide on September 26, 1940 at the French-Spanish border while trying to escape the Nazis with a group of fellow Jews. They were all arrested by the Spanish police (Franco was one of Hitler's closest allies). Moved and humbled by his desperate yet principled stand, the Spanish police, defying Franco's orders, allowed his fellow Jews to escape. An absolute "must-have" title for Walter Benjamin collectors. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online are ALL subsequent printings or have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. The greatest literary/cultural critic of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER WALTER BENJAMIN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 067404326X. no.

The Arcades Project
Published by The Bellknap Press of Harvard University Press, Cambridge, 1999
Seller: THE HERMITAGE BOOKSHOP, Denver, CO, U.S.A.
Association Member: IOBA RMABA
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition
Hardcover, in dust jacket. First edition, first printing. An unfinished magnum opus of 20th-century critical theory, The Arcades Project is Walter Benjamin's sprawling philosophical excavation of 19th-century Paris as the birthplace of modern consumer culture. Composed as a constellation of fragments, quotations, and reflections, the work defies traditional narrative form, instead constructing a "literary montage" on themes of capitalism, spectacle, urban experience, and historical memory. A foundational text for cultural studies, media theory, and modernist criticism. Owner's inscription, else fine in fine dust jacket, in mylar cover.
