Half cloth with dustjacket. Condition: Good copy. 1st edition. Designer: Helene Berinsky. Jacket design: Robert Aulicino. Frederic Grunfeld has written a collective biography of the galaxy of brilliant minds that produced such works as Mahler's 'Das Lied von der Erde', Freud's 'The Interpretation of Dreams' and Kafka's 'The Trial'. For many years the leading figures of this German-Jewish renaissance tried, with increasing success, to bring a new humanism into the public life of Germany and Austria. Yet everything they worked for was destroyed by the Nazi counterrevolution: books were consumed in bonfires; artists and intellectuals driven into exile. Retracing their steps, 'Prophets without hounour' often reads like an adventure story, for the author has unearthed a great 'buried' literature of exile - Alfred Doeblin's soul-searching account of his flight across France in 1940, or the defiant poems that Gertrud Kolmar wrote secretly in wartime Berlin before her deportation to Auschwitz. Contents: I). A family resemblance. II). From the very heart of nature - Gustav Mahler - Sigmund Freud. III). Turn toward the light for a monent - Karl Wolfskehl - Theodor Lessing - Carl Sternheim. IV). An angel at the gate - Else Lasker-Schüler - Erich Mühsam - Ernst Toller. V). Les indésirables - Albert Einstein - Arnold Schoenberg. VI). Trials and tribulations - Franz Kafka - Kurt Tucholsky. VII). Ultima Multis - Walter Benjamin - Gertrud Kolmar. VIII). A sense of Ash Wednesday - Alfred Doeblin - Hermann Broch. With notes, bibliography and index. 347 pag. Size: 23,5cmx16cm.
