{"product_id":"9780141036199","title":"The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction","description":"One of the most important works of cultural theory ever written, Walter Benjamin's groundbreaking essay explores how the age of mass media means audiences can listen to or see a work of art repeatedly - and what the troubling social and political implications of this are.   Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.; 128 pages, No illustrations; 07\/08\/2008\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9780141036199\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56457511993726,"sku":"9780141036199","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1298\/0350\/files\/9780141036199.jpg?v=1761346156","url":"https:\/\/it-book.co.uk\/products\/9780141036199","provider":"IT-Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
