Two New Walter Benjamin Collections Published in France

Two collections of writings by Walter Benjamin have been published in quick succession in France: 'Rastelli raconte', translated by Philippe Jaccottet (Éditions du Seuil, collection Fiction & Cie), and 'Trois pièces radiophoniques', translated by Rainer Rochlitz (Éditions Bourgeois, collection Détroits). The first gathers short stories, while the second presents radio plays. Both volumes make previously scattered or lesser-known texts by the German philosopher and critic available to French readers.
