Produktbeschreibung
The present study investigates, updates, summarizes, and expands the hitherto scant scholarly apparatus on the life and work of Karl Emil Franzos (1848-1904). This prolific Jewish writer of late 19th-century German fiction who lived in Vienna and Berlin was also an investigative and much-traveled journalist, an editor and publisher of highly respected magazines, and a literary scholar of both depth and impact. He shared many personal and professional characteristics with his contemporary Theodor Herzl. In contrast to the latter, Franzos was an avowed fee of Zionism. Consequently, the focus of the study is on his strong commitment to Jewish assimilation. Special attention is also paid to the history of German and European Jewry, with which the reception of his work has been intertwined.
Rezensionen
"Das Buch von Karl Steiner ist die erste nicht als Dissertation angelegte, wissenschaftlich fundierte, ausführliche Monographie über Leben und Werk des österreichischen Realisten jüdisch-galizischer Herkunft Karl Emil Franzos. Tatsächlich eignet sich diese leicht zugängliche, farbige und ... spannend geschriebene Arbeit vorzüglich als eine Einführung in das Leben und das Werk des Schriftstellers." (Maria Klanska, Halbasien)
"Carl Steiner's study is by far the best book yet to appear on this important Central European author; Steiner's ability to summarize in just the right amount of detail the many aspects of Franzos's colorful life and prodigious output - fiction, essays, literary scholarship, editorship - is truly amazing, and the book is essential for anyone dealing with Franzos. Steiner's study is very impressive; it will be read for as long as Franzos himself is read." (Fred Sommer, Monatshefte)
