Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Siegfried Kracauer was one of the most important German thinkers of the twentieth century. His writings on Weimar culture, mass society, photography and film were groundbreaking and they anticipated many of the themes later developed members of the Frankfurt School and other cultural theorists. No less remarkable were the circumstances under which he made these contributions. After his early years as a journalist in Germany, the rise of the Nazis forced Kracauer into exile first in Paris and then, after a protracted flight via Marseilles and Lisbon, to the United States. The existential challenges, personal losses and unrelenting hardship Kracauer faced during these years of exile formed the backdrop against which he offered his acute observations of modern life. Joerg Spaeter provides the first comprehensive biography of this extraordinary man. Based on extensive archival research, Spaeters biography expertly traces the key influences on Kracauers intellectual development and presents his most important works and ideas with great clarity. At the same time, Spaeter ably documents the intensity of Kracauers personal relationships, the trauma of his flight and exile, and his embrace of his new homeland, where, finally, the groundlessness of refugee existence gave way to a more stable life and, with it, some of the intellectually most fruitful years of Kracauers career. The result is a vivid portrait of a man driven both by an urge to capture reality to attend to the things that are overlooked or misjudged, that still lack a name, as he put it and by a need to find his place in a hostile, threatening world. "The first definitive biography of one of the twentieth-century's most important cultural theorists"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
