Illuminations: Essays and Reflections
by Walter Benjamin
There is nothing like Benjamin. Perhaps one of the most citeable media critics of the 20th century, Benjamin's collection of essays explores the works of great names like Kafka, Proust, and Baudelaire (among many). His essay on the role of art in the age of mechanical reproduction is also a masterpiece. His original thoughts continue to resonate into the 21st century and I strongly believe anyone who studies literature or film is missing out should they choose to not read this classic collection.
