Book Description:
The literature of the Wiener Moderne exhibits biting social satire and other related aspects, first emanating from Karl Kraus (1874 1936), a prolific writer, difficult to classify, who reminds people of Jonathan Swift. Novelists and essayists Hermann Broch (1886 1951) and Elias Canetti (1905 94), who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1981, were likewise marginalized, to a large extent as Jews. Robert Walser (1878 1956) is Swiss, and to a large extent like the other three authors in this collection, had no less a desire to upset the social applecart. Among the works included are substantive selection from Krauss's The Last Days of Mankind and Aphorisms, Bloch's 'The Anarchist,' selections from Canetti's Crowds and Power and Auto da Fe, and Walser's Jakob von Gunten.
