Summary The Paris arcades were a principal focus of renowned German and Jewish literary and cultural critic Walter Benjamin. From 1927-1940 he worked on a massive, unfinished work: "My book, Paris Arcades, is the theater of all my struggles and all my ideas." The Arcades are set in the context of his life and times, through Benjamin’s writings, correspondence, and quotations from The Arcades Project
