No se suele hablar de Benjamin como profesor, aunque la educación fue uno de los temas que más le interesó; tampoco como hombre de radio, aunque transmitió más de cien programas para jóvenes. No quedó registro de su voz leyendo las crónicas sobre inundaciones, terremotos, asesinatos y maleantes que recoge esta selección de textos hasta ahora inéditos en nuestro idioma. Les contaba a los niños formas diferentes de comprender los hechos de la historia, admirarlos y criticarlos: la pasión por investigar y narrar llevan al pensamiento propio, y a través de la radio, a la transformación social.

Walter Bendix Schönflies Benjamin was a German-Jewish Marxist literary critic, essayist, translator, and philosopher. He was at times associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory and was also greatly inspired by the Marxism of Bertolt Brecht and Jewish mysticism as presented by Gershom Scholem. As a sociological and cultural critic, Benjamin combined ideas drawn from historical materialism, German idealism, and Jewish mysticism in a body of work which was a novel contribution to western philosophy, Marxism, and aesthetic theory. As a literary scholar, he translated the Tableaux Parisiens edition of Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal as well as Proust's In Search of Lost Time. His work is widely cited in academic and literary studies, in particular his essays The Task of the Translator and The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. Influenced by Bachofen, Benjamin gave the name "auratic perception" to the aesthetic faculty through which civilization would recover a lost appreciation of myth.
