Deutsche Menschen: Das Buch versammelt 27 Briefe aus den hundert Jahren zwischen 1783 und 1883, von der Französischen Revolution bis zur

A collection of twenty-seven letters spanning from 1783 to 1883, this book offers a glimpse into the Enlightenment and humanistic values of German society during a turbulent historical period. Compiled and commented on by Walter Benjamin, it was originally published in 1936 under a pseudonym to counter the oppressive narrative of Nazi Germany. The letters, previously featured in the Frankfurter Zeitung, serve as a testament to a more enlightened bourgeoisie, aiming to present an alternative to the prevailing ideologies of the time.
