Description
Benjamin's Crossing by Jay Parini is a compelling historical novel that chronicles the final days of Walter Benjamin, the German-Jewish philosopher and cultural critic, during his escape from Nazi-occupied France in 1940. As Benjamin flees Paris with a briefcase containing his unpublished manuscript, he embarks on a perilous journey across the Pyrenees into Spain, seeking refuge from the advancing Nazi forces. Parini intricately weaves Benjamin's harrowing flight with vivid recollections of his past—his privileged upbringing in Berlin, intellectual pursuits, and relationships with contemporaries like Gershom Scholem. The novel not only portrays a gripping tale of escape but also delves into the complexities of Benjamin's character and the broader themes of exile, identity, and the role of the intellectual in times of crisis.
