Download or read book Richard Beer Hofmann His Life and Work written by Esther N. Elstun and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thorough account of Richard Beer Hofmann's profound influence on Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Arnold Schnitzler, and other turn-of-the-century Viennese writers' lives and work has not appeared in nearly fifty years. This book fills that lacuna, placing Beer-Hofmann (1866-1945), the central member of the literary ground known as "Young Vienna," in the context of his time and furnishing a fine critical discussion of all his major works. Beer-Hofmann's metamorphosis from a "'decadent young dandy and aesthete" into an artist "whose Jewishness was central to his life and thought" is described in the biographical first chapter; this growth provides the unifying thread for subsequent chapters, which focus on his prose and dramatic works. This edition is not for Germanists alone; its ample quotations followed by English translations finally make Beer-Hofmann's work accessible to readers who have little or no command of the German language.
Download or read book Erz hlen heisst der Wahrheit verschworen sein written by Patricia Ann Andres and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Erzählen heißt, der Wahrheit verschworen sein.» - Diesem Motto entsprechend schildert Raoul Auernheimer (1876-1948), österreichischer Autor und Angehöriger des «Jung-Wiener-Kreises», das Innenleben des Konzentrationslagers Dachau. Als Augenzeuge und Überlebender hielt Auernheimer es für seine Pflicht, aus Verantwortung für die Toten des Holocaust und als Mahnung für die Lebenden, vom Lagerleben und Lagersterben zu erzählen. Das in der Handschrift erhaltene und hier editierte deutsch- und englischsprachige Manuskript gelangt nun erst - über 70 Jahre nach seiner Niederschrift und über 60 Jahre nach dem Tod seines Autors - ans Licht der Öffentlichkeit. Es ist gleichermaßen ein dokumentarisches Zeugnis wie ein literarisches Kunstwerk, das einen Beitrag zur Aufarbeitung des Holocaust leistet.

Download or read book Austria in the Thirties written by Kenneth Segar and published by Ariadne Press (CA). This book was released on 1991 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays deal with the interaction between culture and politics during the period of the Austrian Corporate State, the five years preceding the Anschluss in 1938. The contributions show that no aspect of literary and cultural life remained unchanged by the National Socialist infiltration that took place in the 1930s. All Austrian writers, publishers, theater directors, and film makers had to decide whether to face economic penalty by opposing National Socialism and being blacklisted in Germany or to seek financial advantage by joining the Nazi movement. Jewish writers and political activists had no choice but were forced to flee into exile or face imprisonment in concentration camps after the Anschluss.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieser Band beschäftigt sich mit der jüdischen Identität der österreichischen Dichter und Denker Arthur Schnitzler, Stefan Zweig, Richard Beer-Hofmann, Karl Kraus und Theodor Herzl im Kulturkontext und in der Kulturkrise des österreichischen Fin de Siècle. Sie schöpften alle mehr oder weniger bewusst aus einem reichen jüdischen Erbe, von dem sie sich entweder absetzten (Kraus, Zweig) oder dem sie sich wieder zuwandten (Beer-Hofmann, Herzl). Die dynamischen Spannungen, welche sich aus den Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem Absorbieren österreichischer Kultur einerseits und dem Geprägtsein von jahrhundertelanger jüdischer Tradition und deren Werten andererseits ergeben, finden ihren Ausdruck in unterschiedlichen Reaktionen der paradigmatisch für alle europäischen Juden stehenden hier untersuchten österreichisch-jüdischen Persönlichkeiten auf die Kultur und Kulturkrise des Fin de Siècle.
